Dear Aman,

This Orthopedic Chicago Podiatrist located in West Loop 60661,Roscoe Village 60618, Ukranian Village 60622, Elmhurst 60126 & Bartlett 60103 says...
Bow legged is a term. There is no measurement. Similar to tall & short. It sounds like you may have  bow-legs. The fact that there is no pain or symptoms is excellent. Humans look alike-but can be different in bone structure & still be OK. There are no exercises.
Hope this helps & Good Luck!
