legs together
Feet side by side
Legs together describes a body position with the legs side by side, not spread apart.
The phrase appears in physical instruction—dance, gymnastics, diving, military drill—where precise positioning matters: Keep your legs together on entry.
It also carries connotations of modesty or propriety, especially directed at women: Sit with your legs together.
This gendered usage reflects outdated notions about feminine comportment.
