For leg strength and stability

These standing exercises can help improve your strength, balance and coordination, so you feel strong on your feet.

• Squat: Bend your hips and knees like you're going to sit in a chair. Lower down as far as you can, pain-free. Work toward your thighs being parallel to the ground or even lower. Keep your weight on your heels. Don't allow your knees to move forward past your toes. Return to the starting position by pressing through your heels and straightening your legs.
• Lunge: Step your left leg forward to create a split stance position. Bend both knees to lower your body toward the ground. Keep your torso upright. To return to the starting position, straighten your knees back up to split stance, and step your left foot back underneath you. Repeat on the right side.
