Get Gorgeous Legs: Tips for Tighter-Looking Legs

Target leg bloat, puffy ankles, and flabby knees with these smart strategies.

1. Beware of packaged food. It’s usually teeming with sodium, which can lead to swelling.

2. Sleep with a pillow under your legs to reduce water retention that can cause “cankles,” or ankles without much definition.

3. Exercise! To tighten saggy knees, you should target the quadriceps and hamstring muscles—our thigh-shaping move can help.
