Leg extension
Getting into position
Sit tall with your legs, knees and feet hip-width apart and feet facing toward with toes directly under your knees and your heels on the floor. Rest your hands lightly on the seat or arms of your chair. Tighten your tummy muscles.
The exercise
Slowly lift one leg off the floor and extend it fully. Hold it for a couple of seconds. Lower it very slowly. Repeat with right leg. Alternate legs; build up gradually to 10 repetitions with each leg.
