Chair Squats
Strengthen your hips, knees, and thighs without straining these areas.
Stand in front of a chair with your feet hip-width apart.
Slowly lower yourself as if to sit, then stop just above the chair before standing back up.
Do 10-15 squats, ensuring your knees don’t go past your toes.
Step-Ups
Target your hips, knees, and the muscles in your legs.
Find a step or stable platform.
Step up with one foot, bring the other foot up to meet it, then step down and repeat.
Do 10 repetitions on each side.

Always remember to perform these exercises within your comfort limits and consider consulting with a physical therapist or healthcare provider to tailor the activities to your specific needs. Here’s to moving more freely and feeling better every day!
