Leg Lift
Lie with your back on the floor and your heels on the seat of a chair. Exhale as you slowly contract the back of your upper thighs to push your butt toward the ceiling. Hold for 1 second. Inhale as you slowly lower your butt.
Exercise B: Quadriceps
Squat
Stand with your feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Keeping your back straight and your abs tight, exhale as you slowly squat down to about 90 degrees. Don't let your knees extend past your toes. Make sure to push your butt out as if you were sitting in a chair. Hold for 1 second. Inhale as you slowly return to the starting position.
