Leg Exercises For Seniors Leg, Knee And Hip Exercises For Seniors

What we’re going to go through in this exercise video today are some Leg exercises to get those legs nice and firm. We will first go through some double-leg exercises, working the Leg simultaneously. And then we’re going to go through some single-leg exercises, which is working One Leg at a time, to get them friendly and robust, Making sure they get strong equally. So these are some great exercises to get those legs strong. Let’s get into them. Okay, let’s start with the first exercise, a partial squat.

So we’re standing behind our chairs with feet just over hip-width apart. With the squat, remember we sit back okay, so we don’t come forward at the knees like this; we keep that chest up throughout the exercise, we hold on with both hands, we sit back as if we’re sitting on a chair behind us, And then we push up with equal weight throughForrthosee legs, make sure the hips and knees are straight at the end of the movement. Holding on to the chair, we will sit back and come up. Let’s go for ten repetitions.
Following along with me Partial squat One Two, equal weight through those legs Three Four Five, excellent work, five to go six, making sure you’re sitting back, you’re not coming forward; that chest is up Seven Eight Nine, and last on,e Ten, excellent work, shaking out those legs.

Okay, now we’re going to do the same movement, coming further down into the squat.

Okay, now we’re going to do another variation of the squad. This time, our legs Are wider apart with the movement, and our knees are always in line. With our chest up, we sit back and come up, so it’s the same movement. The legs are wider apart; this is known as a sumo squat. You can place your hands up like this and in front, Whatever’s most comfortable,  even by your side.
