Why do your legs get thick, like elephant legs?

Many people feel that the legs are thick because the muscles are more developed, that is, because they always walk every day, or wear high heels, resulting in muscular development of the legs, which will become short and thick.
Therefore, basically 80% of girls do not love strength training, afraid of strength training, because they think that the body is strong and muscle content is related. But that’s not true.

The reason why the legs will become thicker is not because the muscles are developed, but because the fat in the legs is more. The volume of fat is about four times larger than that of muscle. Sitting for long periods of time will lead to fat accumulation, not because of muscle bulk.
In addition, the muscles of the girls are difficult to practice, even boys want to develop developed thighs are very difficult, and the testosterone in the body of girls is only 1/20 of that of boys, and the difficulty of developing muscles is more than 20 times that of boys. Don’t always think that what you think is right, and learn more about the common sense of fitness so that you won’t mess up your partner.

The appearance of elephant legs is caused by many reasons, the most common is that excessive diet leads to high calories, and they like to sit for a long time and do not exercise, which will lead to the appearance of elephant legs.
Therefore, starting from these two reasons, we can make a breakthrough for these two reasons, so that our elephant legs can slim down and become long legs.
The first point is to address the problem of excessive calories
From the diet to control the intake of calories, to light diet, quit all high-calorie foods, eat more fruits and vegetables and high-protein foods, so that their metabolism can be improved, reduce the caloric intake at the same time, but also speed up fat burning fat reduction.
Moreover, you should give up the sweet things you usually like to eat, especially girls, who have no resistance to sweet things. Although sweet food is delicious, but the degree of sweet food into heat is very high, but also lead to rapid oxidative aging of the human body, so, sugar is a small thing we have to do.

The second point is about sitting for a long time
We’re all sedentary in our lives because of work and school, but we can’t change that. However, we can set time for ourselves to reduce the chances of sitting for long periods of time, such as getting up and standing for 10-15 minutes after not doing an hour, to relieve the pressure of sitting on the spine. We can also use the time to go to the toilet, the time to pour water in the tea room, to stand to alleviate the impact of sitting for a long time to the body, when sitting, you can also do more tiptoe, and finally we can use the time after work to enhance their own exercise.
In addition, the most important thing in our life is exercise, for example, you can insist on more than 4 days a week of exercise, maintain more than 1 hour each time, you will not be a fat (under the premise of diet control).
