Legs/Butt workout
Step up onto a chair with a reverse lunge.
- Stand facing a desk chair (one that is sturdy and does not have wheels).
Place your right foot onto the chair. Press
 into your right heel as
you extend your right leg and lift your body up onto the chair.
- Bring your left knee into your chest.
- Lower your left foot to the floor. Step back with your left leg.
Bend both knees at right angles, lowering yourself into a lunge.
- Repeat 10 to 15 times on the side and then switch legs.
Wall squats
-
Stand with your back to the wall and your feet hips’ distance
apart. Bend your knees as you squat down sliding your back down
the wall. Squat until your thighs are parallel with the floor.
Tuck in your tailbone, flattening your lower back against the
wall. (Note: your knees should be over your ankles. If they come
farther forward, move your feet out away from the wall).
-
Rise, widen your stance about a foot on each side, and repeat.
-
Rise, widen your feet about a leg’s distance apart with your
feet turned out 45 degrees, and repeat.
-
If you are able to, turn the wall squat into a plié toe squat
by squatting and rising on your toes at the same time. To really
advance the move, stay on your toes throughout the entire set of
squats.
-
Repeat the entire set 15 to 20 times.
