Sitting slim legs method

1. Sit only 1/3 of the way up the chair, stretch your right foot forward, and try to keep the sole of your foot against the wall. Place your hands on your left thigh and slowly bend your upper body forward, staying for 15 to 30 seconds. Return to the original sitting position and do the same on the other side.

Function: Stretch the muscles of the lower back, thighs and calves, and relax the stiff lower body.

2. Sit firmly in a chair, keep your body straight, and place your right foot above your left knee. Slowly press your right knee down with your right hand, hold your right ankle with your left hand, and stretch the muscles on the outside of your right thigh. Stay for 10 seconds then switch sides.

Function: Relax the muscles on the outside of the thigh and promote blood circulation.

3. Sit on a chair (sit firmly) and keep your body straight. Lift your right thigh up, bend your knee, wrap your hands around your knee, as close to your chest as possible, and hook your foot upward. Stay for 15 to 20 seconds, then switch sides.

Function: Improve the looseness of the back of the thigh.

4. Boat Twist 1: Place your legs on a chair. Sit with your back straight, place a chair in front of your body, put your legs on the chair, and place your hands lightly on your hips. The height of the chair should not be too low, about 40 to 50 cm is best. When twisting, engage your abdomen.

5. Boat Pose Twist 2: Inhale, extend and straighten your spine upward. Exhale, use your abdominal force, and slowly twist your body to the right, twisting as far as you can depending on your flexibility. Stay for 3 to 5 breaths, straighten your body, and switch to the other side. Use your abdominal force and look diagonally backward.

6. Boat Pose Twist 3 Advanced Movements: People with stronger abdominal strength can try to move the chair away, inhale, lift your feet off the floor, let your calves be parallel to the floor, and place your hands on your knees.

7. Advanced movement of Boat Pose Twist 3: Exhale, stretch your calves upward to a 45-degree angle with the ground, stretch your arms parallel to the floor, look straight ahead, do not hunch your back, use your abdominal force to straighten your waist, and stay for 3 to 5 breaths.

Precautions

The boat pose twist can speed up the circulation of the lower body. The twist requires the strength of the side abdomen, so the abdomen should be exerted and the spine should be extended upward. This can make the waistline more obvious. When lifting your feet up, if the thigh muscles are tight, you may not be able to straighten them, so the knees can be slightly bent.
