Yo what’s goin on

So ever since I started stretching and toning my legs, they almost look a little longer? I definitely don’t feel taller lol I’m pretty short. Could it just be an illusion because they’re a little more toned? Or could they actually be like stretching out a bit? I mean I’ve had really tight tendons since I was a kid and I’ve been working on loosening them with specific stretches recommended by a doctor. I know this a really stupid question so sorry. Idk man I love it but it’s wacky 😂
