Chair Stands: Practice rising from a chair and sitting back down slowly to build practical leg strength. If it’s difficult, use a higher chair or place a cushion on the seat, and work up to doing it without using your hands.
Lunges: These work each leg individually and challenge your balance. Take a forward step, lower your back knee gently, and push off to stand up again. Hold onto a surface if needed.
Walking: Walking is simple yet powerful. Start on level ground, using a cane or walker if you need stability. Build up gradually and try small hills or trails when confident.

Always remember: any movement is better than none, and consistency is the secret to keeping your legs strong and preserving your independence as you age. If you’re unsure where to begin, don’t hesitate to ask a doctor, physical therapist, or a supportive friend for help. Your future self will be glad you did!
