311. Bowed Legs? Exercises and Stretches for Better Alignment


Listen Later

Sometimes our individual body structure can make certain exercises more challenging - and we need a little expert advice to help us make some adjustments.

Listener Hannah came to me with questions about this very thing: “Hi, Megan. I just have a simple question for you. I am bow legged, and so sometimes it makes it harder for me to do balancing exercises. Any tips? I try to dig my toes in the ground and engage my core, but I'm still a little wobbly. Help!”

In this shortie episode, we talk about “bowed legs” or Varus knees, and how they can become a bigger issue in women as they age. I’ll walk you through the challenges it can create in certain exercises, the alignment adjustments you can make, as well as stretches and strengthening exercises to help you do it!

💥Taking listener questions!!! Do you have a question about your self-care that you need help with? Just head to www.vigeofit.com/ask to submit your question, and I’ll answer it for you on an upcoming Friday episode.
