How to quickly correct O-shaped legs?
1. Adjust walking posture: When walking, learn to focus on the inside of the legs. Good walking posture is to keep the body upright, keep the abdomen straight, and look straight ahead. The arms swing naturally on both sides of the body, the toes are pointed slightly outward or straight ahead, and the steps are even. It may feel awkward when you first adjust it, and you may feel like you can't walk, but it will become natural as time goes by.
2. Do the clamping action: Whether you are waiting for the bus, in the office, or watching TV, remember to straighten your legs and clamp your knees firmly, 3-5 times a day, for about 15 minutes each time . This not only corrects the shape of the legs, but also has the effect of slimming the legs over time, especially the thighs.
3. Squat correction method: Exercise the inner calf muscles. With your feet shoulder-width apart and your feet and knees slightly buckled in, perform squatting and standing movements without squatting down completely. 20 times per group, 2-4 groups per day, and you will see results after a month of persistence.
4. Sit on a chair first and put your legs together. Tie the rubber band evenly below the knees and above the heels. If the binding used is not an elastic rubber band. Before binding, put a towel on the inside of the heel and the inside of the knee to avoid pain. When binding for the first time, do not bind too tightly before standing up. Remember to straighten your body, raise your head and chest, and stand for about 15 minutes. If you feel pain or numbness when standing, it means the binding is too tight. At this time, you need to untie it again. If you have enough time, you can bind twice a day, each time for about 15 minutes. You can also squat with your hands on the railing or the back of a chair. Repeat the action of standing up for about 15 minutes each time.
