Ideal figure. Female anthropometry

Low bow to the man who divided the figures of women into different types. This made it easier to choose the most suitable clothes and helped to understand where to look for extra pounds when gaining weight: in the legs, tummy, priests, or (please!) In the chest.

So what are the types of figure and how to decide on your own?

Stellar examples:

• Marilyn Monroe
• Sophia Loren
• Scarlett Johansson
• Monica Bellucci
• Catherine Zeta-Jones
• Jessica Simpson

The parameters of such a figure are as close as possible to 90-60-90. Fat is evenly distributed throughout the body, accumulating mainly in the chest and thighs. Even a slight weight gain makes the hourglass girl even more attractive. The only drawback is the "ears" appearing on the hips. To get rid of them, you need to strengthen the muscles and adjust the diet.

There are no problems with choosing clothes. The main task is to emphasize the dignity of the figure. Hips for women with an hourglass figure are the ideal size, so you can choose any trousers: tight, tapered, flared, straight. But choosing from a high and regular waist, it is better to stay on the first option. Tight sheath dresses fit perfectly on the hourglass. You can choose between thick and thin belts. Thick belts make the image more interesting, and thin belts emphasize a thin beautiful waist and a slender figure. Strict blouses, where several top buttons are unbuttoned, look extremely good.

Stellar examples:

• Jennifer Lopez
• Halle Berry
• Beyonce
• Shakira
• Adele

The “pear” differs from the rest of the figures in its light upper body and heavy lower body. The obvious advantages are a pronounced waist and a neat chest. The disadvantages are massive hips and pelvis. Women with a pear figure tend to develop cellulite. Difficulties often arise with the size of clothes: trousers are bought in the same size, and blouses - one size or two smaller. With dresses, things are even worse. However, men really like this type of figure (as you know, many of them are lovers of moderately rounded hips and narrow waist).

In order to bring the "triangle" shape closer to the "hourglass" type, you need to increase the shoulders, focus on a thin waist and visually reduce the hips. Light top and dark bottom - this is how accents should be placed. Blouses with ruffles, frills and voluminous sleeves are suitable. Since the legs of women with a pear figure are large, it is important to visually reduce them. A pencil skirt made of rough fabric will help with this. It is important to create emphasis on the chest to make this part of the body look larger. It is worth taking a closer look at tight dresses with ruffles in the neckline. You can safely add brooches, scarves and ruffles to the neck area. It is advisable to choose shoes with a thick heel and a slightly pointed nose.

Stellar examples:

• Angelina Jolie
• Demmy Moor
• Cameron Diaz
• Sienna Miller
• Anastasia Volochkova

Slender legs are the main advantage of the inverted triangle shape. The disadvantage is broad shoulders, poorly defined waist and narrow hips. Such proportions make the body too athletic and massive.

When you gain weight, fat is deposited in the upper body: arms, waist, shoulders, tummy. The more extra pounds, the more triangular the figure becomes.

The main task of the clothes is to narrow the shoulders, add volume to the hips and highlight the waist.

It is better to place accents like this - dark bottom and light top. A V-neck will do that will lengthen your neck. The entire lower part should be lightweight, but not tapered downward. It is advisable to choose trousers that are flared from the hips, with patch pockets and decor on the hips. Dresses with flared skirts, patch pockets and bright ornaments on the hips look good on "rectangles". But puff sleeves are best avoided - they create extra emphasis on the upper body.

Stellar examples:

• Keira Knightley
• Julia Roberts
• Milla Jovovich
• Mischa Barton
• Anna Kournikova

The main feature of this type of figure is that the shoulders, waist and hips are at the same level. The obvious drawback is the masculine silhouette, lack of waist and protruding tummy. The advantages of the figure include the fact that the muscles with a "rectangular" figure are easier to adapt to training with weights, so the figure quickly comes to a sporty, fit look.

The task of the clothes is to hide the tummy and highlight the waist.

For women with this type of figure, loose-fitting suits with all kinds of accents at the waist are suitable. It is a good idea to stock up on all kinds of belts and not be afraid to use them. The sleeve should be short or absent altogether. If you need to emphasize beautiful breasts, dresses with a high waist with a flared skirt and sheath dresses will help with this. Cutouts can be oval or square.

Stellar examples:

• Kate Winslet
• Liv Tyler
• Britney Spears
• Kelly Clarkson
• Kelly Osbourne
• Queen Latiffa

The peculiarity of this figure lies in the fact that its owner has the same chest and waist volume. Advantages - beautiful breasts and slender legs. Disadvantages - a pronounced tummy and lack of a waist.
Maintaining a healthy figure requires a low-carb diet and exercise.

For women with an "apple" figure, tapered trousers, high-waisted trousers, flared skirts, lightweight loose-fitting dresses and high-waisted dresses are suitable. It is advisable to choose shoes with high heels.

Find out the character by the legs

"Give me a pen and I'll tell you about your life." Surely such a statement is on your hearing. Did you know that you can also recognize a person's character by the shape of the legs? You just need to deal with their types.

Roman

One of the most common leg shapes. Three fingers are on the same line, and the ring and little fingers are noticeably smaller. It is believed that girls with such legs are sociable, charismatic, “their own” in any company. They find it easy to meet new people and keep up a conversation. These women make excellent speakers and entrepreneurs.

Greek

This type of foot is characterized by a dominant middle toe. The following fingers follow a descending line. Such girls are sociable, creative, inspire and motivate people to achieve success. The Greek type of fingers is often found in creative people, as well as speakers and athletes.

Square

It is called square because all fingers are the same height. Women with this type of legs are practical, to some extent calculating. They often listen to the voice of the mind, not the heart. They go through life with the proverb "measure seven times, cut once." It's not scary to rely on such a person in difficult times.

Little finger does not come off

Women who cannot separate the little finger from the rest of the fingers, love a measured life, always act according to their own strictly established plan. People with this type of legs are reliable and loyal, they can be trusted in any situation.

The narrow base of the second finger indicates the expressiveness of the owner. Such girls often make "an elephant out of a fly." When a lady is in a good mood, she becomes a real sun that illuminates even the darkest corners of human souls. As soon as she becomes sad, thunder will be heard over the ground and lightning will flash.

Tilted third finger

Sometimes the third finger is tilted slightly towards the little finger. It is believed that women with this type of leg are inclined to life planning, keep a diary and never deviate from the schedule. They are organized and keep any situation under control.

The great Leonardo da Vinci was one of the first to study and define the ideal parameters of the human body. The anatomical proportions he presented are still taught in art schools around the world. From Leonardo da Vinci's theory of ideal proportions, it follows that the volumes of the chest, waist and hips, taken separately, do not solve anything, it's all about their ratio.

In modern society, changes in the parameters of the human body (anthropometric data) are reviewed every 15 years, since during this period, as a result of the acceleration process, changes in size, proportions and shapes occur. figures human. Well-known to everyone, 90 - 60 - 90, of course, are not the standard of ideal female proportions for everyone. Body proportions generally cannot be the same for all women, since there are different body types given to us genetically.

The main body types

The main body types include asthenic (thin-boned), normosthenic (normostenic) and hypersthenic (broad-boned).

• In women with asthenic (thin-boned) body type, thin bone, long limbs, thin neck, muscles are relatively poorly developed. Representatives of this type are usually lightweight, energetic and mobile. Abundant nutrition for a long time does not lead to an increase in body weight, since they expend energy faster than they accumulate. If a woman of this type does not have a very thin waist and normal not narrow hips, everything seems petite because of the thin bone.

• The physique of women of normostenics (normostenic type) is distinguished by the proportionality of the main body dimensions, the correct ratio. Most beautiful female figures are found with this type of physique.

• In representatives of a hypersthenic (broad-boned) physique, transverse body dimensions predominate. Their bones are thick and heavy, their shoulders, ribcage and thighs are broad, and their legs are sometimes somewhat short. Women of this type need to remember that they tend to be overweight.
  

You can determine the approximate body type by measuring the circumference of the wrist of the working hand. In normostenics, it is 16-18.5 cm, in asthenics - 16 cm, and in hypersthenics - 18.5 cm.

Quite often there are mixed types of physique with a predominance of the parameters of the above types.

Talking about gradations female height, then they are as follows: short height - 150 cm and below, below average height - 151-156 cm, average height - 157-167 cm, high - 168-175 cm, very tall - 176 cm and above.

True, in recent years, such a gradation needs to be changed, taking into account the acceleration of modern youth, therefore, normal growth can be considered for normosted and broad-boned from 166 to 170 cm, and for thin-boned from 168 to 172 cm.

Correct legs

There are certain proportions between the height and the length of the legs. Legs can be considered short if their length is less than half the height. Proportional can be considered figure when the length of the legs is more than half the height. For large-boned, preferably 2-4 cm, for normal-boned 4-6 cm, for thin-boned 6-9 cm.For example, if normosseous body type with a growth of 168 cm, the length of the legs is 90 cm, then this is ideal.

The length of the legs should be measured from the protrusion of the femur to the floor. In cases where the legs are somewhat shorter than the accepted norm, shoes with heels will help to change this ratio, since visually it eliminates the existing imbalance.

The diameter of the leg in the calf, depending on the physique, ranges from 36 to 40 centimeters, in the ankle from 16 to 20 cm. Experts even tried to draw up a table of the ideal shape of the legs, depending on the type of physique.
Here are the approximate parameters: with a height of 156 and a weight of 50 - 55 kg - the circumference of the leg at the thigh is from 48 to 54 cm, in the calf 31-32 cm, in the ankle 18-20 cm; with a height of 160 and a weight of 55–58 kg - the circumference of the leg at the thigh is from 50 to 56 cm, in the calf 32–35 cm, in the ankle 19–22 cm; with a height of 167 and a weight of 56-65 kg, the leg circumference at the thigh is from 52 to 58 cm, in the calf 33-36 cm, in the ankle 22-23 cm.

And above all, ideal legs should have three gaps between them. To do this, you need to stand in front of a large mirror and put your feet in a position - heels together, socks apart. You should see the first gap under the knees, the second at the ankles, and the third at the top near the hips. In other places, the legs should converge.

Correct weight

Body weight depends on the type of physique, height and, which is very important, the age of the person. One of the options for calculating weight is the Quetelet index. According to this index, women with a thin-boned body type should have 325 g for each centimeter of height, for norm-boned ones - 350 and for large-boned ones - 375 g. Then the index is multiplied by height, and the weight corresponding to your parameters is obtained.
It should be emphasized that the ideal weight of women, especially those whose height is below 160 cm, should be less than normal by 10-15%. Stunted women, at least up to 20 years old, it is desirable to have a weight of 3-5 kg \u200b\u200bless than normal, i.e. calculated by the Quetelet index.

As mentioned above, body weight also depends on age. The table shows the ratio of weight to height (weight in g divided by height in cm) for women aged 15 to 40 years.

To determine your normal weight, you need to multiply your height in cm by the weight-for-height factor corresponding to your age and body type.

Excess weight can be tracked by measuring the fat fold on the abdominal wall, above the navel, 3 cm from the midline. Its thickness should normally be from 1 to 2 cm.

Hips, waist and chest

Knowing the circumference of the body - chest, waist and hips - also helps to determine the correct physique. Suchthe indicator is called "whites".

Normal indicators of whites for young women (18 - 28 years old) of a normosthenic body type can be considered if the chest circumference is equal to half the height plus 2-5 cm, for the bust - chest circumference plus 8-10 cm, for the waist - standing height, minus 100, hips should be more than the waist circumference by about 25-30 cm. For thin-boned women, it can be considered the norm if the circumference of their chest is within 84-86 cm, and their bust is plus 4-6 cm to the indicated numbers.
Their waist, usually, is thin, and is in the range of 60-64 cm, and the hip circumference is larger by about 25-30 cm.In women with a large-boned body type, the chest circumference exceeds half the height by 8-10 cm, chest - another 8-10 cm. The waist circumference with a height of 166-168 cm is within 70-76 cm, and the hip circumference is larger by the same 25-30 cm.

Devendra Singh, a professor of psychology at the University of Texas at the beginning of the nineties, came to approximately the same conclusion. Only he calculated the proportion between the hips and the waist as a percentage. According to his theory, the proportions are considered ideal when the waist is 60 to 70% of the hips.

To do this, divide the waist by the hip, the resulting coefficient should be from 0.6 to 0.7. By the way, the ideal beauties in this ratio are Venus de Milo - 70% and Nude Rubens, the same 70%. But among real women, they are ideal in the waist-to-hip ratio: Marilyn Monroe 0.61 (56 / 91.5), Brigitte Bardot 0.66 (58.5 / 89), Demi Moore 0.72 (66/91), Claudia Schiffer 0.67 (62/92), Cindy Crawford 0.69 (58/84), Gisele Bundchen 0.70 (61/86), Kylie Minogue 0.70 (63/89).

Doctors believe that the ratio of waist to hip circumference should not exceed the coefficient of endocrine equilibrium, which is 0.85. If your waist does not exceed 85% of your hips, then your figure in perfect order from an aesthetic and medical point of view.

Time moves forward, new criteria for evaluating the beauty of a woman's figure appear. The latest analysis of the results of an anthropometric examination of women, conducted in our country in the early 2000s, showed significant changes in body proportions. Young women have longer arms, legs, a higher level of the waistline, wider shoulders with the same size of the body, and improved posture. So we can conclude that the young and middle generations of women have become taller and slimmer than the previous generation. Well, if your parameters do not match the ideal, do not be upset! Still, the most important thing in a woman is her individuality and, of course, a well-groomed look.

In early summer 2013, ahead of the beach season, Venus & Braun surveyed 1,000 women between 18 and 40 to answer two questions: "What part of your body causes you the most concern?" and "What body part would compliment you best?" As it turned out, the most difficult thing is to maintain the beauty of the abdomen, secondly, the beauty of the legs, then such parts of the body as the buttocks, arms, hips and others go downward. However, what is interesting is that the compliment to the legs is the most pleasant for most of the respondents.

The Kong sisters are twins from China, and their legs are truly amazing. Even without shoes, they seem very long, and in high-heeled shoes - just endless. Harsh critics might pick on the shape of the knee, but the photo of one of the Kong sisters below shows these really graceful legs from their best side.

But don't forget that photography works wonders. An advantageous angle will make almost any beauty. In reality, only a few out of a huge number of women really have a good reason to say: "I don't have the most beautiful legs." Others are simply overly self-critical or lazy. If a woman maintains excellent physical shape, knows how to emphasize the dignity of her figure, monitors the condition of her skin, she can be proud of the beauty of her legs.

PERFECT LEGS - WHAT ARE THEY?

According to the canons of beauty of female beauty, preserved from antiquity, ideally, the circumference of the lower leg should be equal to the circumference of the neck, and the circumference of the thigh should be one and a half times the circumference of the lower leg.

But true connoisseurs of the beauty of female legs believe that there are few ideal proportions of the figure and legs: the legs themselves must have the correct shape (the presence of four "windows") and correspond to 13 parameters. I wonder if there are many women who have ideal legs from this point of view? Hardly. But if you want to test your legs for "perfect perfection", please!

First of all - "windows". Put your feet together, in several places they will touch, leaving gaps ("windows"). The correct gaps are between the foot and ankle, above the ankle, below the knee, above the knee at the bottom of the thigh (the latter is the narrowest).

Now sit in front of a mirror with a measuring tape, measure and compare whether your feet meet the 13 parameters of the standard.

Examine the front of the knee in a slightly bent position in the mirror. If it looks like a baby's face with bangs, cheeks, dimples for the eyes and chin, consider the first test passed.
Measure the circumference of the place where the knee meets the lower leg, it should be equal to the ankle or slightly thicker.
The ideal is a thin, but not skinny (when all the tendons are visible) ankle. To appreciate it, look at the ankle in the mirror from all sides.
Look at the side of your knee for any protruding parts. They shouldn't be.
Do you have a groove on the back of your knee? It should be. By the way, many men consider this place not a woman's body especially touching.
Evaluate the condition of the muscles on the calves, whether they violate the general outline of the leg. Neither flabby nor overly developed muscles can be considered ideal.
The rear view of the leg is also very important (after all, men like to look after). The main thing here is the condition of the Achilles tendon (located where the lower leg passes into the heel). It should be thin and have the same indentation on both sides.
The ideal heel is rounded, not flattened, and slightly protruding. We hope this is yours.
Closer to the groin, the thigh should thin out quite a bit. You can only see this while standing in front of the mirror and putting your feet together.
Visually divide the thigh from the knee to the groin into three equal parts. The widest part of the thigh is located at the beginning of the upper third.
Look at the thigh in profile, if it is perfect, then it protrudes slightly forward, gradually deepening towards the knee. In general, the shape of the thigh should resemble a spindle: at the groin and knee it is narrower, and in the middle it is wider.
measure from the top of your leg to your foot. The knee should be exactly in the middle, at the same distance from the top of the thigh and from the foot.
An ideal foot is distinguished by a concave, elongated, thin foot, in which the toes lie side by side freely, they are not bent or deformed by the shoes.
Ideal legs should be in harmony with the figure.

For young women of normal physique, the criteria for an ideal combination are as follows:

Height Weight Leg Length Thigh Circumference Calf Circumference
161-165 cm 54-55 kg 84-86 cm 56-57 cm 34-35 cm
166-170 cm 55-56 kg 90-92 cm 57-58 cm 35-36 cm
171-175 cm 60-61 kg 91-94 cm 58-59 cm 37-38 cm

Only a few women can boast of the perfect combination of all the above parameters. For most, there is a "lightweight" version of the correct ratio of height and leg length, thanks to which the body looks harmonious and beautiful. In this case, the difference between the length of the legs and half the height in women with large bones should be 2 cm or more, in women of normal constitution - 4 cm or more, and in thin-boned women - 6 cm or more.

What if your legs don't meet all these requirements? Love them as they are. The main thing is that you and the men around you like them. After all, every woman's legs and figure are as unique as fingerprints or retinas: there are no alike, and this uniqueness has its own flavor that should be suitable.

An example is Tina Turner, who, with a height of 160 cm, physically cannot have long legs, but they are slender, fit, she is not afraid, despite her age, to perform in short dresses, and she insured her legs for eight million dollars!

If you do not bend your heart, the answer is unequivocal - to walk in short skirts and drive crazy a strong half of humanity. So that later they will take us to the Wedding Palace, or at least to an expensive store, whoever is lucky. Meanwhile, even men, these "connoisseurs of female beauty", cannot specifically and clearly explain what beautiful slender legs.

Slender legs - what are they?

One men's site, at our request, conducted a survey on this topic, and most of the answers boiled down to boorish "from the ears", that is, men are primarily interested in length (by the way, the Czech super-model Adrian Sklenarikov is now considered the owner of the longest legs with an indicator of 121.5 cm, on the picture). And if the legs are long, but thin, like matches? Or, on the contrary, thick? Or curves? Think of Tina Turner. This grandmother of rock and roll, with a height of 160 cm, has not long, but slender and fit long slender legs, which she insured for $ 8,000,000 (eight million). And the insurers agreed, but there are no idiots sitting there.

From this we can conclude that the length of the fact is not so important, the proportionality and shape of the legs, which we will talk about, are more important.

Feet - like fingerprints or retinas - are all unique, no two pairs of legs are the same. If we talk about the global scale, then African women are more lucky, they have in comparison with us slender thin legs longer by nature, and this indicator is not at all important for African men, for them female beauty is in something else. Injustice, right? In addition, African women have longer thighs, slightly tapering at the top, the knee is almost imperceptible, the calves are long, and the ankles are slender. Northern Europeans (Swedes) occupy the second place in terms of length and slenderness, but their legs are not so graceful. But the inhabitants of the Mediterranean, whom God himself ordered to walk in mini, have shorter legs with a small foot and more pronounced muscle relief. The oriental beauties were not lucky - even shorter legs, calves are not so long, and the ankle is not so graceful.

By the shape of the legs, you can also determine the character traits of their owners. On this topic, it turns out, there are several very scientific papers. They were written, of course, by men. They established that long-legged women are romantic natures, loving to dream. It is difficult for them to cope with everyday problems, but they have firm principles that they do not just give up. Women with short legs “stand firm on the ground” but have a changeable mood. They easily solve everyday problems, but succumb to outside persuasions.

Further, the "researchers" studied the gait. I must say, a beautiful gait, in contrast to beautiful slender legs, is not a gift from God, but most often a labor acquisition. It turns out that shy people walk with their socks inside, who find it difficult to establish any contact. I do not argue with this - having walked ten meters inward along the editorial office with my socks, I saw the wary glances of my friends. They calmed down only when I returned to my table with a light flying gait, like women who are happy in love walk, but they whispered again when I took off my shoes and began to examine the sole. They had no idea that I was testing Dr. Garre's concept. HE writes that if the heel and sole are worn down evenly, then this is a faithful wife and an excellent mother. If the inner edge is worn down, then the person is all introvert in himself. And if the outer edge is worn out, like mine, then this is a person with a strong will, initiative, but an adventurer. I decided not to offend Dr. Garre and agreed - I had adventures, some other, but I'll tell you about them another time. And now we turn to the main thing - what are the parameters of slender ideal legs.

The first parameter of slender beautiful legs is often called "four windows". To see them, put bare slender legs together. In certain places, the legs will touch, while the "correct" legs form 4 windows - between the foot and the ankle, above the ankle, below the knee, above the knee in the lower thigh. The last window - above the knee at the bottom of the thigh - should be narrowest.

In addition to the principle of four windows, there are 13 more parameters of the harmony and beauty of the legs. Almost every place is described and must meet certain canons. Want to know more about it?

So, what does science say about what should be ideal the slimmest legs:

1. When at rest, the front of the knee should have the shape of a child's face with bangs, cheeks, and dimples for the eyes and chin.
2. The place under the knee should be as thin as the ankle. In any case, approach these dimensions.
3. The ideal ankle should be thin but not skinny.
4. There should be no protruding parts on the side of the knee.
5. The knee should have a depression on the back. Experts believe that this is one of the most charming places in the female body.
6. The calf muscles should not be overdeveloped so as not to disturb the outline of the leg.
7. The Achilles tendon should be thin and well grooved on both sides. It forms the back of the leg.
8. The heel should be visible, not too prominent, but rounded.
9. Up, the thigh should be thinner.
10. The widest part of the thigh is in the first upper third.
11. The hip profile should protrude slightly forward and gradually deepen towards the knee. In shape, it should resemble a spindle.
12. The knee should be at the same distance from the top and bottom of the leg, that is, exactly in the middle between the top of the thigh and the feet.
13. The ideal foot should have a concave, elongated and thin foot. Toes should lie loosely next to one another and not be deformed by unsuitable shoes.

In addition to the parameters of the legs themselves, there are proportions between the height and length of the legs, which make the whole body harmonious and beautiful.

The length of the leg is considered ideal when the difference between the length of the legs and half of the height in large-boned people is 2 cm or more, in a normal physique - 4 or more, thin-boned people - 6 or more. (The length of the legs is measured from the tubercle of the femur opposite the hip joint to the floor.) There are also the canons of Polyclitus, according to which the beauty of a woman has certain dimensions, for example, ideally, the waist circumference should be twice the circumference of the neck, the circumference of the lower leg is equal to the circumference of the neck, and the circumference of the thigh must be one and a half times the circumference of the lower leg. The distance from the heels to the waist should refer to the length of the body as 2: 3.

The criteria for young women of normal physique are as follows:

1. With a height of 161-165 cm, the weight should be 54-55 kg, leg length 84-86 cm, thigh circumference 56-57, shin circumference 34-35.
2. With a height of 166-170, weight 55-56, leg length 90-92, thigh circumference 57-58, legs 35-36.
3. With a height of 171-175, weight 60-61, leg length 91-94, thigh circumference 58-59, legs 37-38.

Unfortunately, even those women who have beautiful perfectly slim legs and a good figure, often do not know how to walk correctly. Some mince, others twirl their hips, others shake their shoulders. As for women whose figure is not ideal or who are overweight, a beautiful gait is all the more important for them, since it gives a real chance to catch up.

Not all women know how to walk correctly and beautifully. Some mince, others twirl their hips, others sway their shoulders. Someone has a natural clumsiness, and someone has an ingrown toenail. Meanwhile, the correct beautiful gait is capable, firstly, of hiding many of the flaws of your body, and secondly, it is beneficial to emphasize the advantages.

Valery Viktorovich Yantsev, the artistic director of the Moscow school of demonstrators of clothes "Burda Moden", will tell us how to walk correctly, how to give lightness and grace to your movements:

Two gaits are taught in our school. One is for work on the catwalk, the other is for everyday life. The difference between them is not very big - it mainly lies in the movements of the hips. But if you have seen a fashion show at least once, you will understand: a professional, beautiful gait that looks gorgeous on the catwalk will be inappropriate and even vulgar in a grocery store. Therefore, the question “how to walk correctly and beautifully” should be clarified - where exactly to walk.

Most women will never need a runway step. Therefore, I will give a recipe for a beautiful gait for every day. Mostly correct gait depends on how you hold your head and back plus how you position your leg. Additional signs are hand and torso movements, as well as shoes. First of all, make it a rule not to walk fast - when going to work, make time for yourself on the road with a margin. Correct positioning of the foot - the toes are slightly turned in different directions. The ideal line of movement for a woman is when the heels go as if in one straight line. It is ugly to walk in a podium figure eight, that is, overlap. And you don't need to put your legs wide when walking, unless, of course, you are rehearsing a man's gait.

An important point when learning to walk correctly is that the leg moves forward first, and then the body. Not the other way around. Otherwise, the gait will not be smooth, calm, but jerky. Another mistake may occur - with each step you will start to jump slightly. The correct stride should be the same length as your bare feet. Do you think that in this case the gait will be mincing? Nothing like this. One has only to try, and you will understand that walking this way is not only correct, but also very convenient. Moreover, with a wider step, there will inevitably be body jolts, head-up jumps.

Walking in high heels correctly and beautifully is a special science. Be careful to place your feet apart when walking, and not inward, otherwise the most slender look clubfoot. In shoes with very high heels, they often do not put their foot on the heel first, but step on the entire foot at once. But it is prettier if, nevertheless, the heel rises earlier - even for a split second. There is no need to step on the toe and then on the heel, and there is nothing to say - such a gait looks strange. Many people in high heels walk on bent legs. Remember: the leg on which you have transferred the center of gravity at the moment must be straight. By the way, having strong legs, walking correctly in high heels is much easier.

The basis of a beautiful gait in particular and of female beauty and health in general is correct posture. Posture is a habitual posture, a person's manner of standing and sitting. Posture is usually assessed while standing; with correct posture, the head and torso are located on the same vertical, the chest is raised, the abdomen does not protrude. when viewed from behind, the shoulders should be at the same level, and the shoulder blades should be pressed. It is with this posture that you can easily learn to walk correctly. If you have a large mirror, you can check your posture at home. Stand close to the mirror and with chalk mark on both sides of the ear points, the middle of the shoulder, hip, knee joints, ankle. After that, connect these points and see how straight these lines are.

To learn how to walk correctly and beautifully, so that your posture is beautiful, first of all, learn to hold your shoulders and head correctly. To do this, stand in front of a mirror, put your head straight and align your shoulders. Hold this position for 1 minute, then close your eyes, relax, shake your head, do a few shoulder rotations and try again to take the correct position. Open your eyes and check yourself, your gait. This exercise should be repeated as often as possible, until the correct position becomes a habit, until you can walk in that position.

In conclusion, I would like to say that often an ugly wrong gait, stoop develops from self-doubt. A woman should know that each one is beautiful and unique, and learning to walk correctly is a matter of technique and desire. Repeat this to yourself more often. From such thoughts, the shoulders straighten by themselves, the gait becomes more confident.

We thank Valery Viktorovich for the interview and we hope that the question of what is a beautiful gait, how to walk correctly and beautifully is no longer in front of you.
