Method for slimming legs: Stretching exercises
1. Stand naturally with your feet shoulder-width apart, knees bent. Lift your feet slightly, hold your breath, and as you exhale, use the strength of your ankles to stretch out your body.
2. Stand straight naturally with your feet shoulder-width apart. Inhale, extend your left leg backward, raise both arms, lift your right heel, exhale, and lower your arms. Repeat this exercise 5 times.
3. Sit on a chair with your legs stretched out and your toes relaxed, tightening your calf muscles. Repeat this 20 times. Then place your feet on the chair or lean your hands against it, pressing your waist with your arms to fully stretch your legs and waist, making your leg lines longer.

Method for slimming legs: Climbing stairs
In buildings with elevators and stairs, try not to take the elevator but climb the stairs instead. This will provide more opportunities for exercise that can be done daily by simply utilizing the stairs, which helps in slimming legs. When going upstairs, pay attention to stretching your calves and let your toes touch the edge of the step first. During the process of lifting and lowering your feet, your Achilles tendon gets exercised, making your ankles slimmer and relieving tense leg muscles, allowing your calf lines to become smoother.

Method for slimming legs: Vigorous stretching exercises
Bend your body with your elbows while one leg is doing a lifting and lowering motion. Practice leg-stretching exercises at least 10 times daily. Use the elbow of one arm to support the ground, lying on your side, then do the lifting and lowering motions. Practice this action at least 20 times daily. Consistent practice of these two movements will yield results.

The SkyWalker cool-down exercise is performed after using fitness equipment. The method involves lying on your side, lifting and lowering the outer leg 30 times. Then move your leg forward and backward without bending your knees and keeping your toes pointed. To slim your legs through this exercise requires long-term persistence; the longer the exercise time, the better the slimming effect.
