just enlightened this woman that walking/standing without your legs locked is not normal and that it’s much less tiring if you lock out your knees when you’re standing

(her thighs are huge from literally never locking out her legs for the last two decades)

@16af93 okay, so you know how if you extend your leg in front of you, your knee stops going when your leg is approximately straight

imagine walking without ever letting your leg extend fully/lock out like this

calling out @desea

@snowy @Clover it literally feels normal to me wth

@snacks if your knees bend too far back naturally, it can be bad for them, but generally your legs being locked out when you’re standing is the normal posture afaik

@snacks I mean yeah of course, the muscles are involved a lot with walking, and locking out the leg you’re stepping forward with is bad, but fully extending the back leg doesn’t feel unnatural or bad imo

@snacks how do you walk with any significant angle in your back leg? that feels like the way I would sneak around in a shorter posture not standard walking

@snacks yeah, front leg bend is important, but if you don’t lock the back leg walking becomes very tiring (and this is what she was doing)

@coolbean @desea unfortunate indeed 😔

@Clover So you’re telling me I can solve my height disforia and train my thighs by doing this
