Fitness Equipment

Try this sitting on a bed to begin with, then progress to the floor.

• Raise your right leg slowly for a count of 5
• Try not to bend at the knee
• Hold in the upright position for a count of 20
• Return the leg for a count of 5
• Relax and breathe for a count of 30
• Repeat with the left leg

Points to watch

• Do not move your shoulders and hips from the floor
• Go only as far as is comfortable
• Work slowly toward a totally upright leg
• This may take days, weeks or months.  That's fine.
