Leg Exercises for Seniors
These are a few of my favorite leg exercises for seniors. If you are just beginning a new exercise program start out with 1 set doing 8-10 repetitions. You will want to increase to 2 set of 15 as you get stronger and used to the exercise. As always, be sure to consult your physician before beginning a new program!!
Half Squats
Slowly bend your knees slightly, then straighten. Keep your feet flat on the floor. If you have knee pain, avoid doing this exercise or bend more shallowly.
