Stiff leg deadlift - Stand upright with your feet slightly apart and your legs straight. Bend over at the waist until your back is parallel to the floor. Grasp the weights (barbell, dumbbells, milk jugs full of water) firmly in your hands and carefully, slowly rise to a straight, standing position. Be sure to exhale as you rise. Slowly lower the weights to the floor, bending at the waist, until your back is once again parallel to the floor. Repeat this 10 times. Note: Although this is an excellent exercise for your lower back, hamstrings (backs of your thighs), and your bottom, lower back injury can result if this exercise is performed improperly. Be sure not to strain your back muscles when lifting the weight. If you feel pain. Stop. Do not perform this exercise if you have lower back pain or problems without talking to your physician first.
Lunges - Standing upright, step one leg forward 2-3 feet. Keeping your upper body erect, and not moving forward during the lunge, dip your upper body down, bending your rear leg at the knee. Dip down until your rear knee almost touches the floor. Hold the tension for a count of 10, then slowly rise back up. Repeat several times before switching legs. Note: This is an excellent exercise for the hamstrings, bottom, and muscles around your hips. However, use caution not to stress your knees. If you feel pain in your knees, reduce the depth of the lunge. If you have knee problems, talk to your doctor before doing lunges.
Standing calf raises - Stand with your toes and balls of your feet on a step, stair, thick book, or block. Stand straight with your knees locked or nearly locked. Slowly lower your heel toward the floor using your calf muscles to balance. Lower yourself until you feel your calf muscles pull--but not painfully. Hold that position for a count of 10. Now, using only your calf muscles, rise back to a level position. Repeat this 10 times. Note: If you feel too great a strain on your heel, foot, or leg muscles, don't push it. A little tension is what you are seeking, not pain. Use a handrail or chair for extra balance if you feel unsteady. As you get stronger, you can try using a barbell with weights over your shoulders to add to the exercise. You should also increase repetitions as you gain strength. If you have knee, foot, or heel problems, talk to your doctor before beginning this exercise.
Hamstring Stretch - Stand erect with legs crossed, outsides of feet together. Bend over with rear knee straight. Reach toward feet or bring torso toward legs. Hold stretch. Repeat with opposite leg. This is an excellent stretching exercise for warming up before intensive leg workouts or for cooling down following your workout. Be sure to keep your rear knee straight!
Inner Thigh Toner - Lie flat on the floor with your stomach up and back on the ground. While keeping both legs straight, raise one of your legs about 6" off the floor. Make a circular motion with the leg, keeping your toes pointed. Make 16 circles, then lower your leg back to the floor. Repeat with the other leg. Try to do it daily! This exercise is brought to you by A.D. We tried it. It's harder than you might think--we could feel the burn!
Leg Lifts - Lie flat on your back with your feet and legs together, hands and arms at your sides. Lift both legs 4-6 inches off the ground and hold them for a count of 2. Spread both legs apart like a "V" and hold for a count of 2. Bring both legs back together and hold for a count of 2. DO NOT LET YOUR LEGS TOUCH THE GROUND! . With your legs still up, raise them until they are about 2 feet off the ground. When both legs are up, hold for a count of 2. Spread and hold for a count of 2. Bring them back together and hold for another count of 2. Bring them both back to 4-6 inches off the groun and hold for a count of 2. Bring them both to the floor. Then, start again! This thigh and bottom toner were provided by Zip who tells us, "This exercise is difficult and the first time you try it, you probably will only be able to perform the first few steps. You work your way up to 3 sets of 10. Add a step every dy until you are doing 3 sets of 10 with the firmer bottom and thighs to prove it!"
