    How to do it

    1. Warm up with a minute of marching on the spot or seated knee lifts.
    2. Standing option: slow sit-to-stands from a chair, 8–10 times.
    3. Seated option: straighten one knee, hold for three counts, lower; 10 times each leg.
    4. Add slow calf raises holding a counter, then rest.
    5. Finish with a few slow breaths.

    Easier version

    Do only the seated knee lifts, one set per leg.

    Safety note

    Stop if it hurts; gentle beats intense. If you have a heart, joint or circulation condition, check with your doctor first.

    Why women include it

    Many women like a few minutes of strength work because it can be done at home with no equipment. Some prefer seated moves on heavy days. Notice how your legs feel and log it.
