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.
 
Heel Lifts

Slowly rise up to your tiptoes, and then lower your heels back to the floor.
 
Toe Lifts

Keeping your heels on the floor, lift your toes off the floor. Hold them up for a count of 3; then lower them back to the floor. (Don’t allow your hips to go backward when you do this exercise; keep them as straight as possible.)
