Who would argue with the fact that beautiful legs are pleasant to look at? And it doesn't matter whether they are male or female. The main problem associated with this part of the body is the excessive thinness of the calves. Too narrow a shin looks disproportionate, causing problems for both fashionistas and bodybuilders. To achieve aesthetic appeal, it is necessary to pay special attention to the calf muscles.
Instructions
Step 1
The easiest way is to work not on the calf muscles themselves, but to work on the appearance of this part of the legs. There are two types of operations used in plastic surgery. In the event that the legs seem shapeless, liposuction removes excess fat from the ankles and the space above them - the gastrocnemius muscle visually becomes larger due to a decrease in the volume of the lower leg. In another case, implants are inserted: under general anesthesia, a small incision is made in the back of the knee, into which one or two (if the legs are too thin) hard silicone implants are inserted. The traces of the operation disappear in a week, and the result remains for life.
Step 2
In order to increase the calf muscles "naturally", training is necessary. It will take effort and time to develop this muscle, since it “grows” for a long time. For the development of the gastrocnemius muscle, exercises are usually performed while standing, for example, lifting on toes, but exercises from a sitting position strengthen more the soleus muscle or only the lower part of the gastrocnemius muscle.
Step 3
Exercise should be done with weights. The weight of the load should not be too large so as not to interfere with the correct exercise. Lack of weight will also lead to the fact that the growth of the calf muscles will be slower. The optimal weight can be recommended by a trainer based on your individual characteristics.
Step 4
Exercises should be performed at full amplitude, the training speed should be slowed down. Experts say that a greater effect can be achieved if you do not allow the muscle to "unload" between exercises, and make short pauses in the position of maximum muscle contraction. Any workouts aimed at increasing the calf muscles should be regular and frequent - at least three times a week at the very beginning. When the muscles get used to it, the number of exercises should be increased to 6-7 times a week. You need to repeat the exercises 30-35 times.
Step 5
Cycling develops well the calf muscles. Alternatively, you can use an exercise bike. To avoid injury, pay special attention to stretching the muscles after completing a set of exercises aimed at increasing their volume. Stretching allows the muscles to regain their normal length.
