Exercises

Here are a few exercises I do.

Lie flat on your bed with one pillow behind your head. Keep you hands by your sides, on the bed. Lift your right leg as high as you can, extend it straight out and hold it there for about 10 seconds, then slowly lower you leg to the bed. Repeat with the left leg. Do five repetitions. Each week, increase the time you hold you leg in the air, and also increase the number of repetitions. Be careful not to push yourself too far in any day - just increase over a period of time. (Of course, each person is different, so adjust the amount you do to your own tolerance).
