Swollen legs by evening? It's usually not water retention — it's mechanics.
Every position above compresses the veins that carry blood back up from your legs. Gravity pulls down; your calf muscles pump up. Sit wrong for 8 hours and the pump switches off.
Fix: feet flat, knees 90°, hips back, 20 ankle pumps every half hour.
⚠️ If ONE leg swells suddenly, feels warm, or hurts in the calf — that is not posture. See a doctor the same day.
Save this and check your legs right now. 👇
