legs apart

Feet spread wide

Legs apart describes a standing or sitting position with the feet separated rather than together.

The phrase appears in instructions for exercises, medical examinations, and poses: Stand with your legs apart, feet shoulder-width.

It can suggest confidence, defiance, or readiness—someone standing their ground rather than shrinking.

In sexual contexts, legs apart often implies availability or invitation.
