25 Days of Wellness - Day 2

Any soreness from yesterday? While it was not the most difficult exercise, I had a 25 pound weight sitting on my toes some of the time. On to today:

Weak in the knees

This one is fairly easy to do, but after seeing patients of degenerative diseases struggle, might as well keep up what you have. Me too, of course.

Use a chair or wall for support, if needed. Bend at the knee until the calf is parallel with the floor and return. This focuses on the knee joint, so no other joints should move. Add a little more challenge by adding weights to the ankles or don't use support in order to challenge your balance. Then try it with your eyes closed while the other leg is on tip toe. Maybe that's a stretch. Do this enough times at a slow and even rate on each leg to feel like you've done something.


If you want to make things really fun, add yesterday's exercise too.
