Exercise: Seated Leg extension & Seated Leg Curls

Today on Shaped by Faith’s exercise segment I am going to give you a simple exercise that you can do just about anywhere, anytime. I will keep it very simple, but yet challenging for every level of fitness from the beginner to the athlete.

I will explain every level of the exercise so that everyone can benefit from it.
Today’s exercise is a Seated Leg Extension. This particular exercise is excellent for strengthening the quads and giving your knee joints more support and stability.

Warm Up exercise: Seated Chair – March in place.
Stability ball – Bouncing on the ball

Begin by sitting up tall with a scooped belly and both feet flat on the floor, hip width apart. You can gently hold on the sides of the chair. Straighten your right leg out in front of you and flex your foot Exhale and lift your leg straight up and hold for a second. Inhale and lower your right leg down just above the floor. Repeat this for 12-16 repetitions and then switch to your left leg. Repeat entire exercise for 1-3 repetitions on each leg.
