Want Great Legs? Tips to Strengthen Legs

Bend your knees deeply to reach an item on a low shelf,
then straighten up without leaning forward or holding onto
anything for support.

When you get into or out of a chair, don’t depend on the
arms for help. Instead, let your thigh muscles contract to
lower and raise your body while your back is kept straight.

Climb stairs two at a time, with a straight back and
without leaning dependently on the handrail.

In the theater, on a bus, or during a meeting, sit with
your lower back against a chair, then press your two legs
tightly together as if they were one for as long as
possible.

To increase your walking speed, take longer strides rather
than shorter, quicker steps. By lengthening your pace
you’re using more of your thigh and hip muscles.

Just before you retire at night, stand with your knees
slightly bent and grip your pillow between them. Squeeze
the pillow for 8 counts as if trying to crush it
