Exercises

Exercise 1

  • Stand upright back against the wall, step away from the wall, feet hip width apart

  • Lean back against the wall slide down until upper legs are parallel to the floor knees at a right angle keep ankles in line with knees

  • Suck tummy on tight and press back against the wall keep hands across chest or om wall

  • Please hold until you can no more and either slide down the wall or push off wall back to standing

  • This exercise I still find useful and definitely a better choice than leg press 

  • Repeat once to start with with a view to doing 3 each day
