Can jogging slim your calves?

Jogging is the most effective, safest and simplest fitness exercise in life nowadays and is popular among many people. However, many friends are in poor health. Can jogging help slim down your calves? Will jogging make your calves thicker and stronger? Then let the experts tell us what is the correct way to jog and how to use the process of jogging to make your calves more beautiful.

The reason why people think their calves will get thicker when running is mainly due to the following reasons: some people feel tired and tight in their calves when running, and they think that their calves are "growing thicker", but this is actually just an illusion;

The second is that the method is wrong. High-intensity and intense anaerobic exercise may cause calf muscles to grow, resulting in thicker legs, while aerobic exercise consumes sugar, fat, and amino acids in the body and will only reduce excess fat.

How do you judge whether your exercise is aerobic exercise? Coach Liu introduced that when the heart rate is between (220-age×85%) and (220-age×65%), it is aerobic exercise. When the heart rate exceeds (220-age×65%), it is anaerobic exercise. In addition, during anaerobic metabolism, sugar is broken down into lactic acid through anaerobic glycolysis, which can cause muscle fatigue and soreness.

The weight loss method to avoid thickening of calves is to adopt jogging as an aerobic exercise, which is characterized by low intensity, rhythm and long duration.

When running, you should also pay attention to the time and speed. Generally, aerobic exercise takes at least 30 minutes and can last up to 1-2 hours. The speed should not be too fast, and the heart rate should be controlled within the aerobic exercise range, but it should not be too slow, otherwise it will not have the effect of exercise.

From the above article, we learned whether jogging can slim down your calves. First of all, jogging can indeed slim down your calves, but it is recommended that you slow down and do aerobic exercise when jogging. Aerobic exercise will not hinder breathing, and can also speed up the body's metabolic excretion functions.
