1. Slim legs

In fact, living habits are one of the important reasons for thin or thick legs. Before I tell you how to make your legs thinner, please think about what type of fat legs you have.
There are three major categories of thick legs:
First, the reason for thick legs is "fat", which is characterized by soft and white meat, and the calves are not strong, especially the thighs. On the back side, the skin looks loose and loose, like what people often call cellulite. If this continues, even the buttocks will look slumped.
Secondly, the reason for thick legs is "strong". The characteristic is that the meat is actually quite strong and does not look so white. Some people even have a muscle in their calves! The thighs aren't that slump, they're just... too thick and don't look good in a skirt. Some people who don’t exercise often, but who go shopping and travel too often, may have strong legs!
Thirdly, the reason for thick legs is "swelling". The originally slim legs can become swollen due to sitting and standing for a long time, especially if you often eat out and work in an air-conditioned room. The office worker looks neither fat nor strong, just a pair of thick legs.
Some people may simply have fat legs or strong legs, and some people may have fat legs and edema, or strong legs and edema. Take a closer look at your situation, pinch your legs, and think about your living habits. There are actually different tasks to be done for different fat legs, which are explained below.
●Key points for practicing Qigong for people with fat legs
1. Exercise moderately. The appearance of loose flesh is mostly caused by people who do not like to exercise, or people who used to exercise a lot but suddenly stopped exercising, such as athletes or dancers who have retired from sports. Moderate exercise can tighten muscles and create good-looking lines.
2. Eat less meat, starch and other staple foods, and eat more fruits and vegetables. Another characteristic of people with fat legs is that they often eat more staple food than side dishes. This is also the main cause of obesity in general. People who don’t like to exercise eat too much fat and carbohydrates. Not only the legs, but also many places will be fleshy!
3. Use alternating hot and cold baths to promote blood circulation. This trick can also get rid of swollen legs.
●Key points for practicing Qigong for people with strong legs
1. Exercise should be moderate. You may ask, how is this different from the first tip of practicing Kung Fu for fat-legged people? It is indeed different. Moderate exercise is especially for active children, because too much exercise may not be beneficial unless you deliberately want to develop strong muscles. However, I have also seen a friend break his ligament after playing basketball for a few days. Fortunately, he recovered later.
2. Relax for a while after exercising, and then gently massage your legs to relax the muscles so that they will not become hard carrot legs. This experience comes from a good friend who has studied ballet for many years. She broke my impression of ordinary dancers with flat chests and thick legs. Her figure was so beautiful that it was said that after every dance practice, the teacher would ask them to massage each other's legs in pairs.
3. Don’t lift heavy objects often. That's just like doing weight-bearing exercises! It will make the muscles of your legs stand out! So ask boys for help when moving things, and pull a basket cart when shopping for groceries. Frequent lifting of heavy objects will also cause a burden on the back.

Staying in an air-conditioned room every day, drinking only water and not sweating will not only make your legs swollen easily, but your skin will also become thicker.
