How to make your legs straighter and longer

For modern people, height is the most important external factor after appearance. However, not everyone is born with a pair of long and straight beautiful legs. Especially for those who sit for a long time, it is very likely that a lot of fat has accumulated in their legs, which greatly affects their appearance. In fact, we say that congenital deficiencies can be made up for by acquired factors. Even if we don’t have straight and long legs, we can still make ourselves more perfect with some tips.

1. Put your legs together and place the front of your feet on the steps. Lift your heels as high as you can and stand upright on the steps. Then slowly and continuously contract the calf muscles upwards, and when the calves tremble and feel sore, lower them down. At the same time, press your heel down as far as you can, so that it falls below the level of the step, but your heel should not touch the ground. Wait until your calves feel trembling and sore before lifting them up again. Do this movement as many times as you can.

2. Lunge forward with your left leg and lift your left heel as high as possible; straighten your right leg backward as far as possible, with your heel on the ground and toes facing forward. Then press your body down slowly and forcefully repeatedly until your leg muscles tremble and become sore, then switch to a lunge with your right leg, and repeat.

3. Stand upright on the heel of your left foot, stretch your right leg forward and lift it up, hook your foot upward, pause, straighten your foot, pause until your leg muscles tremble and become sore; then stand upright on the heel of your right foot, lift your left leg, and repeat.

4. Lift your heels, open your legs and squat down as far as you can according to your actual physical condition. This movement not only stretches the calf muscles and ligaments, but also gives you beautiful ankles. Keep your upper body straight, cross your hands and place them naturally in front of your body, inhale when you lift your heels, exhale when you squat, and then breathe naturally.

5. Walk, don’t stand

Even walking every day can help you get slim legs. Walking is an effective way to have slim legs. Try to set aside 30 minutes every day to walk (on the way to and from get off work or when shopping). When walking, keep your back straight and relaxed, straighten your knees, and move your center of gravity from your legs to your toes. This will increase the activity of your calves and make your legs stronger and longer. The correct walking posture is to keep your head and chest out, tuck in your abdomen and lift your hips, and do not swing your upper body in too large an arc. Use the strength of your waist and legs to take steps and push your body forward. Moving at a speed that makes you breathe a little but not sweaty can achieve the effect of exercise. Remember not to stand, sit or squat for a long time. Standing, sitting or squatting for a long time will cause poor blood circulation in the lower limbs. Not only will it make the legs look swollen, but in severe cases it will also cause the unsightly appearance of varicose veins.

6. Keep it straight and don’t tilt it

Your daily sitting posture is also related to your leg shape. Women who need to sit in the office for a long time have fewer opportunities to stretch their legs, so you should pay attention to the correct sitting posture and leg movements while sitting. The standard beautiful sitting posture is "the same shape as the chair". The spine is in line with the backrest of the chair, the back muscles are naturally relaxed, and the body and thighs, thighs and calves below the knees are at a 90-degree right angle. The legs are gracefully joined together and can be placed forward or to the sides.

7. Keep it flat, not slanted

Girls who have an unbalanced center of gravity, like to stand in a three-seven-step stance, and often carry their backpacks on one side, please pay attention:

The result of long-term imbalance in the center of gravity will also cause ugly legs! In order to adapt to the change in the center of gravity, the body will naturally adjust to a posture to maintain balance. Without you even realizing it, your shoulders may be tilted and your legs may be bent. Therefore, you should develop the habit of changing the side on your back when carrying your backpack; put your center of gravity on the soles of your feet when standing; except for formal and necessary occasions, try to avoid wearing high heels to maintain a stable and balanced center of gravity.
