Lower-body strength at homeBalance confidenceRepeatable rep counts

Pacing

Pick a rep count you can finish with steady breathing, then add one rep per session only when last week's count felt easy.

Setup

  • Choose a chair that does not roll, tilt, or have wheels.
  • Set the chair near a wall, counter, or sturdy rail you can grab if needed.
  • Clear the floor in front so a forward step recovery is safe.

Monitor during the set

  • Stop a set early if your knees cave inward or your back rounds sharply.
  • Add a hand on a rail if standing feels less stable than sitting down.
  • Reduce reps if next-day soreness limits walking or transfers.

Coaching cues

  • Drive through the whole foot, not just the toes.
  • Stand to a stacked, tall posture instead of stopping in a hunch.

Safety notes

  • Place the chair against a wall so it cannot slide backward.
  • Use a counter or sturdy rail for hand support if balance is uncertain.
