Why are my legs longer since lock down?

[Fuckoffyoufeckers]

Stupid question but my legs are noticeably longer And I am much more flexible. For eg I can touch my toes for the first time in my life.

I have been doing some yoga but I’ve had periods in my life where I have done much, much more yoga and been extremely fit and flexible but still unable to touch my toes.

The only difference I can recognise is that I am not wearing heels (just flats) and I am getting a bit more sleep. Would that make my legs longer?

If you are wearing flat shoes all the time, then you have stretched your achilles out, and that is why you can now touch your toes.

Your legs aren't longer, just a different shape. Optical illusion.

Less time standing?

Thank you!

Yours look longer, that’s good. My dd said that my knees looked too near my ankles...

So weird I've just read this. Today I discovered I can touch my toes. I've never been able to do this before.

Are you sure they are longer and not your legs are thinner making them look longer? You will not have grown, obviously, in the last six weeks.

As PP said, flats will be the thing.

You're also possibly less stessed and tense?

I am so glad the same has happened to someone else. After over a month in lockdown it’s been the first time I have been able to touch my toes with ease.

Whereas after 6 weeks of isolation, I'm actually less able to see my legs🤨

Your tummy has flattened from loss of appetite/losing weight?
