Longer Leg Illusion. Excess fat on your legs can make them look shorter, but when you lose fat, you create the illusion of longer legs. Muscle-building activities that create definition in your legs can make the illusion of longer legs even more powerful. Moreover, sometimes exercise improves posture and reduces muscle tension.
Some parents believe that just because they both are short, their children will be short as well. But with the right diet, posture and a few exercises, it is possible to aid the growth of your child. Exercises elongate and lengthen the bones. And in growing children, the bands of cartilage around long bones of the arms and legs stretch and allow for the bones to grow. Shortly after puberty, around the ages of 16 to 18, this cartilage fuses and doesnât allow bones to grow anymore.
