If so, here are three exercisesyou can do at home so that you can begin to get great legs even if you do not have agym membership.Before doing any of the exercises, make sure that you have doctor's approval to do anyform of exercise including the ones you read in this article. Assuming that you havedoctor's approval then all you need is a wall and some stairs, or some sturdy platform-type structure upon which you can step.The first exercise is the "wall sit." In this exercise you place your back against the walland then squat down so that your knees are parallel to the ground (or as close aspossible). Remember to keep your toes in front of your knees in order to reducepressure on your knee joint. Once you are in as low a position as possible, remain inthat position for as long as you can and breathe regularly. After a few seconds you willfeel the muscles in your legs work to keep you in that position. Aim for one minute atfirst and then gradually build up over the next few weeks by increasing the duration afew seconds at a time. You even can add resistance with a phone book or another formof weight which won't easily fall off of the tops of your thighs when you do this exercise.The next exercise is the "step up." With this exercise, you will find a box, set of stairs,or other platform no more than 18 inches off the ground. You will simply step up withone leg and bring your other leg up afterward. Come back down, and then alternatelegs as you continue to step up. You can choose to do a certain number of repetitionsper leg, go for a certain amount of time, or compete against friends. Over time, youmay wish to hold a light weight in your hands such as a dumbbell, a filled water bottle,or any other relatively light object which you can handle during the exercise.The final exercise is the "body weight squat." This exercise allows you to do a squatand go as low as you can in a controlled, safe manner. Once you get a feel for theproper and safe way to do these you may notice an increase your strength,conditioning, and flexibility over time. Like the other exercises, you can aim for a certainnumber of repetitions or time duration. For this exercise you do not need any weight, asyou want to focus on proper form.Even if you have previous medical approval to do these exercises, you must stop themimmediately if you feel faint or experience any pain or other negative symptoms.Remember that these exercises will help you begin to get toned legs and thighs; andyou need to include them as part of a process of healthy eating, adequate water drinking, cardiovascular exercise, and other healthy practices.
