Now loy alty reigns in the world, which means that it seems to be easier to put up with the imperfection of your body, in particular your legs. The situation is all the more paradoxical that the illness called "I don't like it" overcomes even men who easily pick up all women's diseases and fears. Here it is - the result of unobtrusive (is it?) Imposition of images and our stereotypical thinking.
Despite the fact that the world is now not interested in everything ideal, the standards of beauty are blurred, there are parameters verified by scientists regarding the proportions of the legs.
What parameters of the legs are considered the standard?
The beautiful legs of girls are their powerful weapons in the fight to win men's hearts. Nevertheless, the question of beauty is purely individual, and there is no objectively ideal shape of the legs, since there is no dispute about tastes.
According to scientists, the length of the legs should be slightly more than half the height and make up about 51-55% of the body length. A straight line can be drawn through the top of the thigh and the middle of the knee to the ankle, but at the same time, the legs should not be like sticks, some curvature mustattend.
Let's look at a few features of the legs:
- Let's imagine that your legs are a four-story house. And on each floor there should be one "window". The ideal shape of the legs for women provides for the presence of four gaps: at the top of the thighs, above the knees (narrowest), below the knees and above the ankles.
- "Baby face" kneeling. Like this? Stand in front of a mirror, bend your leg. If ideal legs smile from their knees with a "baby face": eyes, cheeks, hairs on the bangs are visually determined, then your knees meet beauty standards. Smiled back at her?
- A little more about the knees - what could be more charming? Ideally, they are graceful, taut, no "bags" of leather under and above them, as well as "razor-sharp" endings. Stand in front of a mirror and evaluate yourself strictly.
- Behind the knee there is a very gentle recess - the subject of special male admiration.
- The knees divide the perfect legs exactly in half.
- The girth under the knee is slightly more than the girth of the ankle or are they equal? Another point of perfect legs met.
- An important criterion for female beauty is the ankle. Ideally, it is not too sinewy, but tendons should be visible.
- Achilles tendon should look graceful, thin, embossed, on both sides with small indentations!
- The beautiful legs of the girls end with a charming heel, which should protrude slightly forward under the Achilles tendon, haveround shape, be clean, pink, well-groomed and not look flattened.
Beauty in numbers
The circumference of the thigh, lower leg and ankle should be proportional depending on your height. Measurements must be taken while standing. If you are between 174cm and 180cm tall, your thigh, calf and ankle should measure approximately 58cm, 37cm and 20cm respectively. With a height of 168-173 cm, the thigh circumference should be on average 53.5 cm, lower legs - 34 cm, ankles - 19.5 cm. If the height is from 160 to 167 cm, then 50 cm will be considered normal for the hips, and 33 for the lower cm, for the ankle - 19 cm.
What not to do if you want to have beautiful legs
If you want to have slender legs, in pursuit of the ideal, take care not to harm yourself. Can't:
- sitting on one side of the thigh with the legs facing the other way, so the proportion of ideal legs may gradually be disturbed;
- sit with legs wide apart;
- sit cross-legged;
- when standing, lean on one leg;
- stand cross-legged;
- sleep regularly on your stomach or side;
- wear a bag on the same shoulder;
- constantly walk in heels.
A few tricks for greater harmony
Every day, walk a few steps first on your heels, then on your toes, then on the outside, and then on the inside of the feet, in that order.
Make it a habit to start every morning with a light leg stretch before getting out of bed.
If you work in a sitting position, most likely, excess fat (or water) will be deposited on your legs. Drink plenty of water and do not eat a lot of smoked and s alty meats.
When you work sitting for a long time, try to sit on the edge of the chair, this way you will ensure the tension of the leg muscles and work them out quietly.
If you are at home, do not wear synthetic socks and tights - they have a harmful effect on the legs.
Your slippers should belong only to you, do not give them to anyone for hygiene reasons.
"The road will be mastered by the walking one!" Every day you should try to walk 10 thousand steps, so it's better to save money on the bus and take a walk.
Regular foot massage improves blood circulation and prevents the formation of fatty deposits. Stretch your hips when you sit, for example, in the office - no one will see this.
Eat more fresh vegetables, especially white cabbage. Do not eat at night.
Shaping perfect legs
Why do we look at dancers and ballerinas and admire their legs? They are flexible, and the solution to the question of how to make perfect legs should begin with the formation of joint flexibility.
"Hard" hips are the key to your clumsiness and awkward gait, so the hips need to be stretched and "opened". Some useful exercises:
- Tilts. Legs with a "cigarette" on the same line, the toes of the left foot rest against the heel of the right. Tilt forward, then change legs. Until discomfort appears, we do it.
- Hip Stretch. The more unpleasant the exercise, the more effective. Sitting on the floor, cross your legs at a distance of 30 cm from you, feet only. Keeping your back straight, bend forward (toward your feet). We complicate the exercises: we put one foot on the other, we perform forward bends. To make it even more difficult, bring your heels together. We press on our knees with our hands and perform forward bends, this way you stretch the muscles of the inner thigh.
- Exercise "swastika". Difficult, uncomfortable exercise, but we remember about the inverse relationship between convenience and efficiency. The result is possible only if you overcome the pain. This exercise helps shape perfect legs by stretching the outer thighs and helps to get rid of cellulite. Until you get bored, you can do it. On the floor, we form a “half of a swastika” from the legs bent at 90 degrees at the knees: one - in front, the second - on the side, the legs lie completely on the floor, including knees, buttocks. Exercise is difficult for unprepared people, since it is difficult to “open” “hard” hips. We sit on the buttocks, the back is straight and we bend forward, backward, to the sides until we get bored.
Good gymnastics
Perform the complex with tense leg muscles, without relaxing them:
- Lie on your back, legs at a right angle to the body, arms along the body. Pull the toes up. tensing muscles,bend the right leg, unbend and repeat with the other leg. We do five minutes without stopping.
- The position is the same as in the first stage, only the left leg is bent. The muscles of the right leg are tense, the toe is up. We bend the right leg, the foot is straight, while the left leg is pulled up, the heel is parallel to the ceiling. Repeat with different legs in the same rhythm for 5 minutes. We don’t interrupt, we endure and do it, it’s impossible to get perfect legs right away, we need systematic training.
- Socks pointing up. Place the right heel in front of the left foot. We wrap the left heel forward, the legs are straight, the muscles are tense. We return the legs to the starting position and repeat the turn of the heel of the now right leg. With the right heel we press on the left leg that resists pressure. Then we lower the legs and bend them at the knees, crossing the ankles, the right leg is above the left. Repeat with other leg.
