Extended information:
There are two important muscles in the calf, one is called the gastrocnemius, which is what we usually call the calf belly. This muscle mainly helps us to finish standing, walking and jumping; the other muscle is the flounder muscle, which is deep in the calf. It can visually elongate the calf.
The average person has a more developed gastrocnemius than flounder muscle, so that visually, the calf belly will stand out, and the leg is thick. At this point, if you do some stretching exercises to exercise the flounder muscle, you will make the two muscles balanced, and the legs will be thin.
Also can not not exercise gastrocnemius muscle, because if you do not exercise gastrocnemius muscle at all, gastrocnemius muscle weakening, muscle strength decline, the calf belly will accumulate too much toxin and water, will also appear to be very thick calves and bloated. At this point, if you want to eliminate the edema of the calves, you have to insist on doing a comprehensive stretching action to stimulate the blood circulation around after the workout.
