You should do warm-up activities before going on the treadmill, otherwise it is easy to cause thigh and calf muscle strain. Leg presses, squats, stretching muscles, flexing and extending joints, etc. can increase the temperature of the muscles and make them more supple.

Generally speaking, if you want to lose weight by running on a treadmill, it is best to do it at a jogging speed. Because if you run fast, although you can quickly consume body heat, it will also put a burden on the calf and accelerate the growth of the calf muscles, which will easily make the calf thicker. In fact, when we are running, the real time to burn fat is after half an hour of continuous exercise, and jogging is aerobic exercise, so it is best to choose jogging for 30 minutes or more.

Many people choose to land on the soles of their feet first when running, but in fact, if the soles of the feet are on the ground first, it is indeed easier and easier to run, but it will make the calves thicker. So, if you want to have slender calves, remember to run with your heels on the ground first, and your forefoot on the ground.
4. Stretching after a run
After finishing the treadmill running exercise, do not stop and rest immediately, do some stretching exercises, which can relieve the muscle tension after running, avoid muscle tension, and effectively maintain the shape of the legs.
