Gap between my legs

Stand with your legs slightly further apart.

:flowerforyou:

This quote made me chuckle. But really, I kind of know where this poster is going. I have had this thought, too, but mostly because leg gap often is linked to your thighs NOT rubbing together anymore. And if you are built with rubbing thighs (like me)...that's the part that is really troublesome because it can lead to thighs chaffing and, at best, being slighlty callous.

Keep hanging in there. We may not ever have thighs that don't rub...but hey...they won't rub as much!

Exactly. I like your attitude.

Yeah I'm half Japanese and it won't EVER happen for me. Thanks Dad! haha But seriously, even when I was 13% body fat (when I was a serious athlete) I still had a small belly pouch and my inner thighs touched. So it really is all about genetics. Sometimes, it's hard to love yourself the way you are, but that's part of the journey Maybe shoot for a BF% or to lose a few inches instead.

This "gap between the thighs" is something that Japanese women often talk about as being a sign that you are "properly" slim. Given that they tend to be physically more petite (and thinner) than Americans and Europeans it's probably easier for them to achieve.

However, even for Japanese women it may not be a realistic goal and most Japanese women don't seem to achieve it. While you have the right to set your own goals, fixating on something that may not be realistic would be unhealthy, both emotionally or physically. Try to take a step back and consider whether this is honestly right for you.

The more you workout your legs the bigger they will get. I just want to lose enough fat that my thighs won't rub together!

Well, some people (like me) just have far too narrow hips for a thigh gap:frown: . Even at an extremely unhealthy weight they still touched But it's not bad that they dO!! My boyfriend and brother say it looks like the girl is really sick. And that any guy can shove his ****up there without anything to stop it!!!:laugh: But seriously, a thigh gap isn't the end all be all, no one notices if you have one or not anyways, so don't worry about it

I have heard that riding horses for long periods of time can create a gap between the thighs. I haven't tried it, though.

I think that is bow legged....:indifferent:

Gee I don't know why anyone would want that.

Anyway, they way many women are built, it will not be likely because of the positioning of the hips in relation to the pelvis.

blessings.

First things first. The gap is too sexy. But, the gap is there due to body fat percentage. Try the Brazilian but lift.

My thighs touch. They always have even when I was underweight. However, I don't get chaffing/callous thighs. Thighs touching is not always uncomfortable!

Acutally this forum was all I could think about in my Tummy Hips and Thighs class at the gym today!! Especially when we were doing squats likea sumo. Totally working my inner thigh :P

The only thing I can reccomend is joining the gym & concentrate on toning your thighs & doing lots of cardio.

But please don't do any drastic diets &/or worry too much if you don't get the size gap you were after. It's so not worth it... Xx

I'm going to echo what others have said here: I know a lot of people who have worked so so hard to get that "gap" and none of them were able to achieve it Some of us just aren't built that way. I remember seeing Kathy Griffin on some talk show once saying that she even had liposuction on her thighs to get it, and that didn't even work.

Some folks find it an attractive quality (as I guy I know I do, but mostly because it makes certain activities more enjoyable for me) and there's nothing wrong with that.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with shooting for that as a goal. Try running or jogging on top of maintaining a healthy calorie deficit, I believe that may help if you aren't doing so already. Remember that it may take a long time to reach your goal, or it might never happen as the points made about genetics are valid. However, as long as you keep your attempts healthy, there's absolutely no problem with your goal and being healthier and exercising more is a good thing on its own too.

Good luck!

I would love to acheive the same thing. I'm so sick of wearing shorts and them riding up between my thighs every 10 steps. its annoying an embarrassing & even happened when I was very thin.

Try barre workouts. You can probably find some on YouTube. Ballet workouts will help make you a lean machine, especially in the thigh/hip area!

i totally feel you with the gap. i am accomplished, I have a gap. I mean, I have alot of other things too. But, I have a gap, and it feels great-- especially when for years, my knees touched, not to mention the rest of my legs. I got it by running, and squating, and spinning. you can do it.
