Leg shape correction and daily leg beauty secrets: Conquering O/X-shaped legs and the wisdom of shaping in short intervals of time.
The function of the O-shaped and X-shaped leg correction exercise is to make your legs longer and straighter through simple movements, and completely get rid of the troubles of O-shaped and X-shaped legs! First movement: Thigh tightening exercise: (1) Sit on the 1/3 of the chair, straighten your waist and stretch your body upward. (2) Place your hands on both sides of the chair, lift your left leg forward, and point your toes upward. (3) Return to the starting position and repeat on the other side 8-12 times, for a total of 3 times. Second movement: Inner thigh exercise: (1) Sit on the 1/3 of the chair and place your elbows on the inner thighs. (2) Push your elbows outward with force and pull your thighs inward with force. (3) Hold the resistance for 5-10 seconds. (4) Repeat 8-12 times, for a total of 3 times. A key point is abdominal breathing. When maintaining the above movement, the abdomen must expand and contract forcefully in coordination with breathing. So this movement looks very simple, but the requirements for details are relatively high. It will be a little difficult to do it correctly at the beginning, but you will get better after practicing a few times. The spinal twisting exercise is very effective for slimming thighs and arms. Practice steps: (1) Sit down in a spacious and firm place with your legs straight and together, breathe evenly, and keep your waist straight. (2) Cross your left leg over your right leg, with the sole of your foot on the ground and close to the outside of your right calf. (3) Press the outside of your right elbow or right upper arm against the outside of your left knee, extend your forearm downwards, and hold your right knee. Inhale, extend your left arm straight and rotate it behind you. At this time, your arm should be extended as far back as possible, with your palm behind your buttocks and your fingers pointing backwards. (4) Exhale slowly while twisting your torso to the left. After twisting to the extreme, hold this position and breathe gently. You can slightly increase the twisting range with each exhale. Note that the twisting movement is led by the abdomen, waist, and hips. The neck and other parts of the torso should only twist in the same direction and should not be overly forceful. Pressing your left arm firmly against your knee will help to twist further. (5) Slowly return your torso to the center, and then switch the position on the left and right sides, and do the same as above. Try to hold each side for about 1 minute. If you feel it is too difficult, you can hold it according to your own limit. (6) Finally, slowly return your torso to the center, loosen your legs and arms, and close your eyes to rest. Relax your thighs and hip joints in turn, relax your back, relax your abdominal muscles and intercostal muscles, and adjust your breathing. This set of exercises is not easy to do at first. If your muscles are stiff or you have not exercised for a period of time, it is best to do it according to your ability. However, pay attention to the twisting movements. You must use the strength of your waist and abdomen. If you have done your best, you should feel a slight soreness in your waist and abdomen after completing a set of movements. Your thighs and arms should also feel a stretch. Daily leg exercise function: If you cannot resist the temptation of food, you must exercise diligently to maintain a balanced figure. Use the time when watching TV commercials, lunch break at work, or commuting to do leg slimming exercises! Exercise steps: (1) Eliminate knee joint fat and reshape slender knees. 3 minutes before going to bed or when you get up in the morning, lie flat on the ground with your hands at your sides and relax your upper body as much as possible. (1) Bend your legs and lift them up, making a cycling motion. Do 45 forward repetitions, then 45 backward repetitions. (2) Tighten the muscles on the inner thighs and outer calves. While watching TV at home for 5 minutes, cross your hands naturally in front of you, and be careful not to use your arms and hands during the movement. Separate your legs slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, take a deep breath, and rise onto your toes; then exhale and squat down as far as possible, spreading your legs outward. Repeat 20 times with deep breathing. (3) Sculpt delicate ankles. Stand for 2 minutes in any condition, with your hands on your hips and your legs shoulder-width apart. Inhale and rise onto your toes, hold the position for about 15 seconds, accompanied by gentle and even breathing; then lower your heels. Repeat 5 times. (4) Toe raises for slender ankles. While waiting for the bus, rise onto your toes and crane your neck. During breaks at work, stand up, hold onto your desk, pull in your abdomen, and try to raise your heels and then lower them, but do not touch the ground. Do this for 3 minutes. When going up the stairs, step on the stairs with the balls of your feet and let your heels hang off the ground. (5) Lengthen your leg muscles. During your 5-minute lunch break, put your hands on your hips, take a big step forward with your right leg, straighten your left leg, and try to touch the ground with your heel. Hold for 15 seconds. Then return to the standing position and do the same with the other leg. Repeat 10 times. (6) Make your leg muscles more beautiful. Stand naturally in the morning sunlight for 5 minutes, press your right foot against the inside of your left thigh, and once you are stable, put your hands together, straighten them upwards, and extend your body upwards as much as possible.
