Having perfect legs is the dream of all women. There are various types of beautiful feet in the world, such as healthy and toned feet. Whether you're looking to show off your legs or build new muscle, the perfect leg is for everyone.
Step
Method 1 of 3: Showing off Your Feet
Step 1. Recognize that there is no one-size-fits-all beauty standard
Everyone has different feet and a different view of the perfect foot. Do not feel that your feet are not as beautiful as the legs of the models in magazines. Not only are your feet unique, but there's a good chance that the legs of the models in magazines and commercials are actually edited and not authentic.
Step 2. Wear high heels to accentuate your feet
High heels can make your legs look longer. Make sure you feel comfortable wearing high heels so you don't look clumsy. Stilettos can also enhance the appearance of your feet.
Step 3. Wear a skirt or shorts to accentuate your legs
If you're not a big fan of accentuating your thighs, wear knee-length clothing to accentuate your calves. If you're feeling confident and bold, wear shorter clothes to accentuate your legs more.
Step 4. Wear pants that fit you well
Wear pants that make you comfortable and that give you full range of motion. Usually, the best pants that fit you are pants that are tight around your buttocks and legs without limiting your range of motion.
Step 5. Put on pantyhose
Pantyhose are a type of stockings and can be worn in any situation as long as you have a variety of colors. Wear pantyhose under the skirt to make your legs look smaller and slimmer.
- Wear dark colored pantyhose in the afternoon or evening.
- Wear brown or light pantyhose during the day or try to wear a bold color.
Step 6. Get the brown legs
Brown legs look healthier and more beautiful. Sunbathe for tanned feet and make sure you use a sun protection cream with SPF 30 for your feet.
Brown skin tanning cream can darken your feet in a healthy and perfect way, as well as protect your feet from UV rays. In addition, the brown color on your skin will look more even
Step 7. Stand with correct posture
Imagine your body as a line. Your ears should be in line with your shoulders, your shoulders should be in line with your hips, your hips should be in line with your knees, and your knees should be in line with your ankles. Standing with the correct posture will accentuate your legs at all times.
Method 2 of 3: Taking Care of Your Feet
Step 1. Avoid the appearance of varicose veins by not overloading your legs
Varicose veins, also known as “spider veins”, are unsightly red lines that appear on a woman's skin as she grows older. Not all varicose veins can be avoided, but there are steps you can take to prevent varicose veins from forming.
- Exercise regularly to increase the strength of your legs and improve blood circulation.
- Use a sun protection cream to protect your skin from the sun.
- Cross your ankles while sitting, not cross your legs.
- Limit consumption of foods with high salt and sodium.
Step 2. Scrub off dead skin regularly
Your entire body will always produce dead skin, including on your feet. Shaving, walking, and wearing pants can indirectly exfoliate your skin. Therefore, restore new skin by removing dead skin cells. Use a washcloth, loofah (body scrub), or body scrub to scrub your feet every time you shower.
Rub the skin with sugar for better results
Step 3. Moisturize your feet every night
Wipe the skin of your feet with a small amount of moisturizing skin cream every night before you go to sleep to keep your skin healthy. Moisturizing skin creams can keep your skin moisturized and prevent cracks, cuts, and patches on the skin.
Step 4. Clean your leg hair
Leg hair is often considered an unsightly thing for most people. However, you don't have to feel obligated to shave your legs just to please someone. If you want to attend a formal event, have perfect legs like a celebrity, or find your leg hair annoying, you can clean your leg hair.
- Shave your legs. Shaving your legs in the shower is the most common way to clean your legs. This method is quick and easy, but it doesn't last long.
- Wax your feet. Although it hurts, with waxing, your legs can still be smooth for a longer time than shaving your legs.
- Use an Epilator. This little machine works like waxing by pulling out the hairs one by one. Unlike waxing, epilators are reusable and clean. However, most women always feel pain when using this machine.
Method 3 of 3: Tighten Your Legs
Step 1. Do aerobic exercise for 3-5 hours every week
Aerobic exercise is exercise that can increase your breathing and heart rate, such as swimming, running, or cycling. Walking can also be a great way to tone your legs and reduce fat around your thighs. Do exercises specifically to build leg strength, such as:
- Bicycle
- Swimming
- Up and down stairs
- Cardio workout using the elliptical machine
Step 2. Do a short distance run or interval training
To tone muscles, you need time to build muscle fibers. Jogging can't tone your muscles, but interval running can. To do interval training, run at full speed for 30 seconds, then jog for 1 minute for relaxation. After 1 minute, start running again for 30 seconds. Repeat this pattern for 10-15 times.
Always warm up and cool down before and after you exercise
Step 3. Do lunges
The lunge exercise can tone your thighs and buttocks. To perform a lunge, step your right foot forward as far as you can. Lower your left knee and waist slowly, as deep as possible. Stand up and repeat this movement with your left leg. Repeat this movement 10 times for each side and do this exercise 3 times.
Step 4. Perform thigh exercises such as leg lifts
Doing this exercise can tone your inner thigh muscles. Lie on your right side and lift your left leg diagonally, like you have a ball between your thighs. Repeat this movement 20 times, then change your body position. Do this exercise 3-5 times for each position.
Step 5. Do calf raises
This exercise can be easily performed anywhere as long as there is a small foothold. Stand on the end of the step with your heel on the outer edge of the step. Slowly tiptoe, then lower your heels back down. Do this 3x20 times to build your calf muscles.
Step 6. Lift weights to build leg muscles
One of the most effective ways to build perfect, muscular legs is to tone and tone your leg muscles. Rumors about lifting weights can make women very muscular are false. By lifting weights, you will get faster and better results, besides that, you can also adjust the size of the muscles you want. While there are many different types of exercise equipment, here are some good exercises to tone your calves, thighs, and buttocks:
- Deadlift.
- Squat
- Leg Curls
Step 7. Exercise safely and effectively
Knowing the correct exercise technique is the most important thing in toning your muscles. Being careless can cause injury and hinder your muscle development. Here are some principles you should keep in mind:
- You do have to exercise regularly, but don't let it cause you injury or injury.
- Perform 3-5 sets of exercises consisting of 10-15 repetitions for best results.
- Take care of your posture. Keep your body straight, keep both feet on the ground, and don't overstretch.
Tips
- Sitting with your legs crossed can impede blood circulation and cause varicose veins. You can avoid this problem by crossing your ankles.
- Be patient. There is no quick way to get perfect legs. Changing the shape of your feet over a long period of time is a healthier way for your body. Create an exercise schedule and follow it regularly to maximize the physical and psychological benefits.
- Check the product you are going to use on the internet and try it out in the store before buying it. Some of the ingredients in the drug can be harmful to your skin, such as increasing skin sensitivity to UVA/UVB rays, irritating the skin, or causing allergies, etc.
- Perfect feet can come in many shapes and proportions. The most important thing is that you have to take care of your body with all your might.
- The gap between the thighs will appear if you are underweight.
Warning
- Always use a sun protection cream with an SPF of 30 or more when you are out in the sun. Don't worry, your skin will still darken. Too much sun is also not good for you because it can lead to serious skin diseases, such as melanoma.
- Be careful about using diet pills or chemical drugs that can shape the body quickly. Usually the use of these drugs will be interspersed with side effects and are not effective. If the drug has too many benefits, it will also have many side effects.
