Why Chen Yihan Can Still Have Young Legs Despite Running Every Day?
Before going to the gym, women always have many doubts: I'm a fish player for three days and a snapper for two days, will I rebound? I feel dizzy when running before meals and pain in my stomach after meals, what time is it best to run? Running easily makes my legs thicker, and weightlifting will turn me into Barbie, what project is better to choose? Haha, don't make excuses, running won't make your legs thicker, you're just lazy.
Participated in a reality show, 36-year-old Chen Yihan topped the hot search because of her beautiful legs, still maintaining 16-year-old figure and a mommy, letting lemon girls go online. Definitely beautiful legs! Lemon spirit is sour.
In fact, what Chen Yihan surprised everyone the most was not her beautiful legs, but why she loved to run so much. Her legs didn't become thicker. Chen Yihan is a famous fitness madman, in addition to running, she also does a lot of strength training, muscles. However, as soon as women hear women exercising muscles, many people may be shocked, women exercising muscles is easy to become like Schwarzenegger, women exercising big muscles is really unsightly!
Many women are also worried that if they run for a few days, their calf muscles will become thick like 30kg carrots. Muscle legs are so unsightly! This is the reason why I resist running… In fact, all these thoughts are wrong. Whether you want to lose weight or have Chen Yihan's figure, you must exercise, do strength training and weightlifting, and you must build muscle. Some women see themselves getting bigger and bigger, in fact, it's just that the fat is too thick.
Why do people say that when you do strength training, you'll just get thinner? Let's exaggerate a bit, anyone who is worried that women will just become big muscles, probably doesn't really understand the basic differences in muscle composition between men and women. Because they have a limited understanding of women's muscle building, all based on a few news on the internet.
In reality, the real fitness women are not like this. Besides Chen Yihan, Zhang Tianai, who is also famous for losing weight and losing fat, didn't look that fat before losing weight, and was a little cute. After going crazy to exercise, she transformed into a goddess.
There are also Yuan Shanshan, who has a waistline and 'crane arms', still looks very thin.
Why did Chen Yihan, Zhang Tianai, and Yuan Shanshan exercise for so long without becoming very exaggerated muscles? Because ordinary women in the gym weightlifting, will only make you get thinner and thinner.
Whether it's men or women, our muscles are divided into fast muscles and slow muscles. In the gym, most women do cardio, especially love treadmills or elliptical machines. Although some girls don't get thin, they run for an hour without taking a breath. Because girls have a larger proportion of slow muscle and more capillaries, they have stronger endurance!
Weightlifting area almost doesn't see women, basically occupied by men. Feeling like they squat for a few times and press with weights, muscles will 'bang' and inflate like a balloon. This is because men's fast muscle is larger and has stronger explosive power, and muscles can quickly 'pump' up. And men's muscle volume is also much more than women, about 40% in the upper body and 33% in the lower body. This difference can really make people cry.
Women may only be able to do a full set of push-ups after 3 months, but some men just entered the gym for two days, they can do 12 reps. Even some chest muscle maniacs' chest muscles are bigger than women's breasts. More importantly, women's muscle growth speed is much slower than men. Our muscle growth and testosterone (male hormone) are closely related. On average, women have about 1/8 of the testosterone level of men. Under the same exercise intensity, women's muscles may only be 1/8 of men's. So, women's factory settings and hormones don't allow us to build big muscles!
Really brave, dare to face the root cause: the reason why your legs are thick is because of fat. Have you ever seen a female athlete's legs thick like an elephant? Even if you train your legs every day, professional ski female athletes' legs are thin like a friend.
Many times, you think that the muscle you call muscle is actually fat, mostly because of thick fat. Real muscle legs are the small calves of female short-distance runners, fitness girls and ballet dancers, which are very distinct. Even if it's like Zhang Junning, who loves to run crazy, running muscle legs are also this kind. Yes, it's the kind that can make people jealous.
Most of the 'fluffy meat' star girls, just pinch, they can lift thick fat, the muscles underneath are very small. 99% of muscle legs are either too thick fat or over-inflated muscles without stretching and relaxation. But you really didn't build any muscle!
Do you ask them a final question, for what we desperately lose weight, is it for being able to eat indiscriminately without worrying about being fat? Have you lost 20 pounds, can you become an easy-to-lose body type? Not necessarily, it depends on whether you lose fat or muscle. Because muscle volume is one of the determinants of the basic metabolic rate.
Muscle growth is also about losing muscle. Therefore, don't say that you're building muscle, if you can maintain muscle mass without losing it, that's already very good. More importantly, after 35 years old, without exercise, muscle loss will speed up, immunity will decline, skin will become loose, and you will look old. So, increasing your muscle content is not just for losing weight, but more importantly, it supports your skin.
However, you can spend as much money as you want to maintain your appearance, without exercise, in the end you will only be two eight and seven eight in terms of appearance and figure.
But how to build muscle? Of course it's necessary for girls to overcome their fear and go into the weightlifting area. However, generally speaking, women think that in a weightlifting area surrounded by men, it's a little awkward.
Many women are biased against weightlifting and muscle building. In fact, don't be afraid to become like Barbie, you need to build a protein bucket and tens of thousands of hours of weightlifting. If building muscle is so easy, why bother with a private teacher? The benefits of exercise are really too many, as long as you can persevere and ensure regular diet. Hope that men and women can enjoy exercise and muscle building in the gym.
