Purpose: Helps strengthen thigh and shin muscles.
(Required item: A towel.)
1. Sit in a sturdy armless chair. The back of the chair should support you comfortably. Ensure that only your toes and the balls of your feet touch the ground. If required, put a rolled towel under your knees, to elevate your feet to the proper height. Next, place your hands on your thighs or on the sides of the chair.
2. Slowly extend one of your legs in front of you. Try to make this movement as straight as possible.
3. Next, flex your foot to point your toes towards your head.
4. Hold the position for 1-2 seconds.
5. Lower the leg back down to the floor. Pause for 5-10 seconds to rest.
6. Repeat movement with your other leg.
7. Alternate exercising your legs until you have done 10 repetitions with each leg.
8. After a short rest period, do another set of 10 repetitions of this exercise.
