getting a leg up
Problem: straight legs
Name: Christina*, 34
The expert: Pilates instructor Mari Winsor.
The story: OI grew up in California. We had more important things to worry about than our legsNlike having a nice rack and good abs,O Christina says. Still, sheOs always been eager to see if she could reshape her piano legs. OIOm completely straight from knee to ankle, like my grandmother.O
The plan: Winsor created a five-day-a-week program not only to reshape the calves,
but also to Oslim the thighs so thereOs the illusion of curves below the knees.O Christina spent 50 minutes each session doing stretches, kicks, and thigh lifts. At home, Winsor advised her to spend 10 to 15 minutes a day standing on her tiptoes.
