please share your full length xrays of knee with leg. no exercise can correct bowing. Arthritis occur early in patients with bow legs and this can be corrected only by surgery.

Please send a clinical picture and x-ray of your knee (both in standing).
It all depends on the angle..mild bowing can be corrected with brace and exercise..but if bowing is severe it would not be possible..
