To sign "legs", simply fingerspell the word using the ASL alphabet. Hold your dominant hand in front of you and form the letter "L" with your index finger and thumb extended. Smoothly transition into the letter "E", then "G" by pointing your index finger and thumb sideways, and finally close your hand into an "S" fist. Keep your hand relatively steady at chest level as you spell.
