There are also a variety of dazzling stovepipe methods on the Internet, some of which require special equipment to complete. Today, I will introduce you to several simple and reliable stovepipe movements.
First of all, we should reshape the muscle lines of the calf, that is, lengthen the original piled calf muscles, so that the muscle lines on the calf will be much softer. Although the muscles have not decreased, changing the posture can also make people feel that the calves have become slender.
Action 1: Stretch the wall.
The action is simple. First, find a wall, stand about one meter away from the wall, hold the wall with both hands, face the ground, keep your legs shoulder-width apart, lunge forward and backward, keep your knees and hind legs in a straight line, and vibrate downward. When you feel the muscles behind your legs being stretched, keep this posture for 20 seconds, and then switch legs to continue.
Action 2: Push the wall to stretch.
Just stand about a foot away from the wall, hold the wall with both hands, push the right foot to the ground, and press the heel to the ground. The front half of the foot is close to the wall and the knee joint is flexible. Don't be too formal. Keep your right leg upright and close to the wall. When you feel a stretch in the back of your calf, keep moving for 20 seconds and then change direction.
Action 3: Sit down and hold the soles of your feet.
Sit on the yoga mat, with your legs close to the ground, close together and straight, sit up straight, your feet are 90 degrees perpendicular to the ground, your upper body is close to your legs, your hands are forward, try to hold the soles of your feet and break off in the direction of your body. When you feel the muscles at the back of your calf stretching, keep the movement unchanged for 20 seconds, then relax for 5 seconds, and then hold the soles of your feet repeatedly.
Action 4: Inverted V Yoga
This is a simple movement in yoga. Face down, hands, palms and soles of feet support the column, and the middle of the body is arched and inverted V-shaped. When the left foot touches the ground, the right leg bends slightly, and half of the sole touches the ground, so you can feel the stretching of the muscles of the left leg and calf.
Action 5: Climbing stairs
Find a step or stool 20-30 cm high, put your left foot on it, keep your front foot close to the step surface, and keep your body upright. Push your left foot hard on the ground, like climbing stairs, and your suspended foot will press down. At this time, the muscles at the back of your calf will feel stretched and repeated.
In fact, many people's small thick legs don't have much fat, but they have developed ugly calf muscles during exercise. While we are doing actions to change the shape of calf muscles, we should also be careful not to continue to form new ugly muscles, such as avoiding wearing high heels for a long time and doing less explosive lower limb exercises. Pay attention to stretching and relaxing muscles after running, and do more massage of calf muscles when sitting down.
Persistence will definitely have an effect. I hope everyone will no longer have the trouble of thick calves.
