Quadriceps Strengthening  Exercises

Wall Sit: Hold a rubber ball between your knees, and lean with your back against a wall.  Slowly bend your knees, sliding your back down the wall until your hips are just above the level of the knees.  Hold this position for 15-20 seconds and repeat 10 times.

Quarter-knee bend: Holding onto a chair for support, bend your right knee to hold your right foot off the floor.   Slowly bend your left knee, so your hips drop about one fourth of the way to the floor.  Hold this position for 15-20 seconds and repeat 10 times.  Repeat with the left leg.
