Lower Body Exercises - Knee Flexor
This serves to strengthen the muscles in the
back of the thigh.
Using the back of a chair or a table as support, start off by
standing up straight.
Breathe in and then breathe out slowly as you
bend your left leg at the knee, lifting the foot
behind you until it is roughly horizontal with
the floor.
Once it’s got to the horizontal position, again
keeping your back straight, push the leg out
behind you as far as you can.
Hold it for a count of two, then bring it back to
the bent position, then lower your
foot to breathing out.
Rest for one breath.

Repeat three to five times then
change legs.
Continue, until you have done the
exercise 9 to 15 times with each leg.
