Queen of Crop 1,104 Posted August 25, 2012 So a lot of us have bad knees due to the damage we have done because of our weight. A friend of mine had knee surgery and asked him what his PT gave him as exercises. One of them was to stand on one leg for 30 seconds at a time. So I started doing that.....in my elevator where I live! Going up (my right leg goes up-I remember it because I think of an upright piano!). Going down, my left leg goes up. When I first started a month or so ago, it was hard. Now it's easy and I can feel my knees getting better! I live on the 9th floor but as of next week we go to Honolulu and we're on the 20th floor there.....but I'm ready. Anyway, give it try; it's simple but it's helped me. I wrote about this on my blog when I first started but 4-5 weeks later I can tell the difference. 4 kryssaboo, Raven21, Slenderella and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scotty75 68 Posted August 26, 2012 I have bad knees as well and looked up physio exercises on youtube (u can find anything on youtube...lol ) and the exercise was similar but standing on 1 leg then put your other leg out as far as you can to 12 oclock then back then 130 then 3 then 430 and so on all around the imaginary clockface. Then repeat on other leg. These exercises have helped a huge amount with me..... Scotty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Queen of Crop 1,104 Posted August 27, 2012 Thanks Scotty! Good advice....I'll try the clock today; and when I go to the 20th floor I'll really be able to work on that one! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
