Let's work out the calf.

Calf muscles are often called the second heart of the body, because calf muscles are important for pumping blood back into the heart. This is why this part of the exercise affects the body, brain and heart.

# # 1. Good for the cardiovascular system

Calf muscles play the main role in the * * Muscle Pump mechanism * *:

* * * Helps blood flow: * * When you walk or administer your calf, the muscles squeeze and help push blood from the lower part of the body back to the heart, overcoming gravity.

* * * Reduce heart load: * * When blood is returned well, the heart does not have to work too hard to pump blood into the system.

* * * Reduce blood clot risk: * * Calf administration prevents leg hemorrhage, which is a major cause of thrombosis (DVT), especially in those who have to sit for a long time.

# # 2. Good for the brain

The calf muscles help the circulatory system function well. It indirectly affects the brain significantly:

* * * Optimizing blood flow to the brain: * * * When blood flow is thorough and effective, the amount of oxygen and nutrients that feed the brain improves, helping to feel refreshed, focused, and reducing brain fatigue.

* * * Proprioception: * * * Calf is an important muscle that helps balance. This part of the exercise develops the neural function that commands the muscles, keeps the pace steady, reduces the risk of falls, which is especially good for long-term brain health in the elderly.

# # 3. Good for the body as a whole

* * * Increased mobility fitness: * * Strong calves make walking, running and jumping more effective, reducing leg and metatarsal aches.

* * * Metabolism: * * Muscle administration boosts muscle mass, a tissue that helps burn energy well even at rest.

* * * Reduce swelling: * * Excellent reduction of edema from blood and lymphatic congestion

# # # Easy way to run calves everywhere

1. * * Calf Raises (Tiptoe): * * Stand upright, hold the chair back to balance, gently lift the heel to the end of the foot, then drop down slowly, do 15-20 times continuously.

2. * * Walk up the stairs: * * It's one of the best ways to fully use your calf muscles.

3. * * Brisk Walking: * * Walking with emphasis on getting down the weight on the forefoot and rebounding will help manage the calf better than normal walking.

> * * More advice: * * If you have to sit for a long time, you are advised to walk every 1 hour or tiptoe while sitting to stimulate the circulatory system so that blood does not freeze on your legs.
