To achieve slimmer legs during puberty, it is essential to comprehensively adjust lifestyle habits and engage in moderate exercise. 1. Maintain a balanced diet, control intake of high-calorie and high-fat foods, eat more vegetables, fruits, and protein-rich foods, and avoid rapid weight gain. 2. Perform targeted leg exercises; aerobic activities such as jogging, brisk walking, and swimming can reduce overall body fat, while exercises like squats, lunges, and leg stretches in yoga can tone leg muscles and shape the legs. Additionally, pay attention to stretching and relaxing muscles after exercise to prevent stiffness. 3. Avoid prolonged sitting or standing; get up and move around periodically to promote blood circulation. 4. Ensure adequate sleep, as good sleep contributes to metabolic health and is an essential factor in achieving slimmer legs.
