Basic squats. Start by standing with feet at hip distance and knees slightly bent. Lower down, bending at knees and making sure that they do not extend out over ankles, until thighs are parallel to ground (or as low as you can go). Slowly release and come back up to standing. That’s one rep. Do 3 sets of 10 reps at least once per day. Weight shifts. Start by standing with feet at hip distance and legs straight. Shift weight to one side and lift opposite leg off the floor, holding for as long as you can, at least 30 seconds. Repeat on other side. That’s one rep. Do 3 sets of 10 reps at least once per day. Single-leg balance. Start by standing with feet at hip distance and legs straight. Bring one leg back behind you, bending the knee at a 90° angle, and hold for as long as you can, at least 30 seconds. Repeat on other side. That’s one rep. Do 3 sets of 10 reps at least once per day. Bicep curls with leg lifts. Start by standing with feet at hip distance and legs straight, holding a dumbbell in each hand with arms by your sides. Curl one bicep up as you lift the opposite knee, holding this position for as long as you can, at least 30 seconds. Repeat on other side. That’s one rep. Do 3 sets of 10 reps at least once per day. Tightrope walk. From standing with feet close together, bring one foot in front of the other, then the opposite foot in front of that one, alternating feet as though you are walking on a narrow tightrope. Walk at least 10 steps, and repeat this exercise 3 to 4 times at least once per day. Single leg 3-way tap. From standing with feet close together, extend one leg forward and tap heel on the ground, and bring it back to start position. Extend the foot out again, this time rotating it inward from the ankle, and bring it back to start position. Finally, extend the foot out behind you, tapping with your toes, and bring it back to start position. Repeat 10 times, then repeat on other side. Repeat the whole exercise 3-4 more times. Split-stance rolling ankle rocks. Start by standing with feet in line with your body, and one about two feet in front of the other. Raise up on your toes as you rock forward, then return back to start position. Repeat 10 times, then repeat on other side. Repeat the whole exercise 3-4 more times. Rocking horse. Start by standing with feet in line with your body, and one about two feet in front of the other. Rock forward and lift your back foot off the floor, holding for a few beats. Then rock backward, lifting your front foot off the floor and holding for a few beats. Repeat 10 times, then repeat on other side. Repeat the whole exercise 3-4 more times.
