Some trends, despite the passage of time, go on sticking with us. This is the case with the “thigh gap,” that aspired to space between the thighs when standing. But why does this anatomical detail continue to captivate… when it’s unreachable the vast majority of us? Here’s a little hint: it’s neither a question of exercise nor willpower.
The thigh gap: a misconception that stands the test of common sense
Since the growth of social media, certain aesthetic standards have taken on overstated
proportions. The thigh gap is sadly one of them. Considered as the ultimate symbol of thinness, it still charges thousands of content on TikTok and Instagram today. Between dubious challenges and “tips” to accomplish it, the message is clear: it would be possible – and even desirable for some – to attain a gap between your thighs . Really?
In reality, the shape of your legs, and this possible gap, relies essentially on factors that are completely beyond your control. We’re speaking about pure anatomy here: pelvic width, femur orientation, muscle structure… In short, elements that have nothing to do with the quality of your diet or your motivation to do squats!
