For people who do not get enough exercise on a regular basis, aerobics, jogging, skipping rope, or doing air cycling or scissor leg exercises with leg lifts are all relatively mild methods. In winter, it is not advisable to sweat too much for health preservation, so in order to slim down your legs in winter, you should choose some exercises that can activate blood circulation and unblock meridians, or various local aerobic exercises.

People who often need to stand or sit for long periods of time due to their work, such as teachers, white-collar workers, nurses, etc., have too much water stored in their bodies and cannot be metabolized well, which will cause edema in the legs. Over time, your ankles will become thicker, your legs will develop varicose veins, and your knees will grow fat.

Thin legs method:

1. Avoid fast food, vacuum food, snacks and salty food, and do not drink carbonated drinks such as cola and Sprite.

2. You can do some simple muscle-strengthening exercises to improve swelling.

Plan A: 10-minute quick weight loss method.

If you want to quickly reduce leg swelling before a date, massage for 10 minutes. Use both hands to massage the area around the calf alternately, from bottom to top, and do it 10 times in total. Then use both hands to twist and rub your calves until your calves become completely warm.

Option B: High Leg Raise

You can lean your legs against the wall before going to bed at night, or raise your legs 20 to 30 centimeters when sleeping. Lie on your side and support your upper body with your hands. One leg bent, one leg straight. Then, lift the bent leg repeatedly. After 10 times, turn to the other side and do the same movement after changing legs.

Option C: Patting massage

Starting from the ankles to the back of the knees, use both hands to rhythmically tap the lymphatic lines from bottom to top. After finishing with the right leg, do the same with the left leg. This can eliminate the heaviness and edema in the legs.

★【Muscular legs】

Judging criteria:

Squeeze your calf muscles hard. If they are firm, solid and thick, they belong to this type.

Prone groups:

Retired athletes, people who used to over-exercise, and people who gain muscle as a result of exercise due to genetic factors and other factors, will have overly muscular calves that greatly reduce the femininity of women.

Thin legs method:

Muscular calves are also the most difficult to lose weight. It is best to stop all exercises that train leg muscles, such as running, skipping rope, and mountain climbing. It is necessary to appropriately reduce anaerobic exercise that develops muscles, and try to use massage to eliminate muscle tension, first soften the muscles, and then lose the fat mixed between the muscles.

Option A: Pat to soften muscles

If your muscles are tight, it will be more difficult to lose weight. So you need to loosen up your calf muscles first. You can sit on the ground, raise one leg to a right angle, and pat your calf with your fist, or massage it with your palm, each for 10 minutes (about 200 times each).

Option B: Massage to relax your muscles

Take an appropriate amount of lotion and massage the calf area from bottom to top, using your fingers to press and rub hard on the areas with more subcutaneous fat. Concentrated massage around the knees can make the front of the calf firm and smooth. You can also use your fingertips to grab the subcutaneous fat, starting from the center line of the inner and outer sides of the calf, using a force that is slightly painful, and continue rhythmically. Alternatively, you can start from the area with the most fat and rub vigorously with your thumb. This is a massage method with better firming effects and is most suitable for areas with thick subcutaneous fat, such as the calves.
