How to get straighter legs?

Healthy4lyfe419

Hey guys! So as you can see in the picture below, my legs aren't very "straight". The thing is, I've had an eating disorder 2 years ago and was weight restored for a year but for some reason I feel like the weight didn't "distribute equally". Is there any way I can get straighter legs? By weight training or gaining weight? ( btw I'm the one in leggings)

Legs aren't straight up and down by their very nature. Really, the only way to get your legs to be 'straight' would be to build your calves up to the width of your thighs. Which would look rather odd, I think.

Ummm... you could try standing on a level surface.

@Alatariel75 so are you saying my legs look okay? Some of my colleagues tease MY and say I have twig legs :') do you think going weight would be beneficial?

You mean the inward bump of the knee joint that many have compared to those with none, or those with outward bump?

Usually derogatory term is knock-kneed.

If it has anything to do with imbalance issues over genetics - there are some exercise that can be done.

If it's all or mainly genetics - search google for knock-kneed celebrities - you are not alone - and colleagues can be silenced when your are stronger, faster, better with legs then them.

Your legs look like normal legs to me

If you're referring to your knees,to me they look normal. So do the rest of your legs. If anything they look more shapely than the ones belonging to whoever is standing next to you.
As I've gained weight,my legs have filled out and things like the space between my thighs have reduced but they are anything but straight!

"She's got legs and she knows how to use them" means to me: she can run, hike, bicycle, dance, garden, etc. Strong legs are beautiful legs.

Stand on flat ground, turn your toes out a bit... and get stronger... It's just your body shape, there's only so much you can do about it.

you can look into getting "racked and quartered" from my reading of medieval times it does not look fun, but should do the trick....

Slightly "knock-kneed" here too. Not too uncommon in females (because hips). I read a study somewhere on the relationship between Q-angle of knee and running injuries - it can make you more prone to 'runner's knee' issues.
