Every Wednesday, a new idea or advice for exercising, staying fit and tips on how to do so while working in the office, working at home, and/or being a parent.
I know how hard it can be to find time to work out. Not only find the time, but the energy and the motivation to keep it up.
Calf-raises:
Stand with your legs comfortably apart, about shoulder-width.
Slowly rise to you toes. Hold for a few seconds.
Slowly lower back down to having your feet flat on the ground again.
Start off with about 25-30 reps. As you progress, you can work up to four sets of 25.
Standing leg raises:
Stand with your legs comfortably apart, about shoulder-width.
Raise one leg behind you as far as it will go without pain. Hold for a second.
Return to floor. Repeat about 10-15 times, then do the other leg.
You can even do pulses where you don’t return your leg to the floor but instead bring it almost all the way forward, then bring it back again until all reps are completed. Then do the other leg.
These may sound super easy, but doing these every day M-F will definitely tone your legs!
