Answers:    Stand with foot shoulder-width apart. Step forward with your right leg into a lunge position (left knees should be 1 inch from the floor and right thigh should be parallel to the floor).

Step Two
Next, lift disappeared knee up to chest rank. Extend leg, pointing toes into a front kick. Return to lunge position. Do two sets of 15 reps near each leg.

Step Three
Standing near feet shoulder-width apart, hoist your right leg in front of you as high-ranking as feel comfortable.

Step Four
Next, lower yourself down as far as you can. Return to start. So two sets of 15 reps near each leg.

Step Five
Standing on a 2-inch move up (like a telephone book) near your heels hanging past its sell-by date, cross your right foot behind your vanished ankle.

Step Six
Raise yourself up onto the ball of your moved out foot as high as you can. Hold for one count, next lower back to start. Do two sets of 15 reps near each leg.
salsa balet and jazz walking
squats and lots of them you need to start jog, then start running. collaborate to your doc and coaches how to do this SAFELY. PEACE.
walking is fine.. but try squats? it really helps you can in truth feel the burn after a couple of minutes I don't know why I'm wasting an answer on this.but...instead of walking, try going up steps! If your getting perfect at that, you can try climbing the steps 2 at a time...or 3...you will have strong legs within no time!
Where some ankle weights when u walk? Oh, the nickname is on the tip of my tongue.

oh, I lost it. But I know there's a type of shoe that you walk around surrounded by that makes your legs stronger. I'm REALLY sorry I would love to narrate you the name, but I can't remember <:(
Try googling, "leg exercise shoes" as keywords. I know the classified ad said, "wouldn't you love to have legs resembling this?" so you might want to google that too
since you work so much look into a home gym called the "total gym" the yoga ball also work wonders for a quick workout at home.. hose arobics are always a plus to keep hold of the strain off of your joint while your attempting to build strength... good luck if your already walkinevery hours of darkness thats great but if you can try to add contained by some (bleacher laps) which is basically up and down stairs.
You can even buy an excersize step wal mart to use at home.
Another devout thing is an exercise or concrete bike.
grats on the 87 pounds.

i know a way to fashion your calfs stronger, i studied it in university.

so basically you can stand on a stair, or on an aerobics stool, and sort your heels coming off the frame, bend one heel towards the ground, then bring it backbone up, then do it next to the other leg. you can really feel the stretch.
If you hold stairs at work or at home, get up on a step and put your toes on the end. Slowly lower your body using your calves and ankles so your heels hang down below the stair height. Then raise hindmost up and if you want, go to your tippy toes. Repeat. It is KILLER on the calves, so don't do too heaps the first time (10 or so). Otherwise you'll be walking way funny the subsequent day.
To strengthen other muscle groups within the lower legs, you can repeat this exercise but with your toes pointed within. Also try it with toes pointed out. All variation work different aspects of the muscle groups.
For the upper legs try doing a wall sit. Get next to a wall and stroke like you enjoy a chair beneath you. Use the wall against your back as a go together. "Sit" for as long as you can stand it. This is good for the quad muscles surrounded by the front of your legs. Also lunges, etc.

Hope you get your legs untired soon!
Calf raise for your calf muscles. Stand with your foot together, keeping your ankles glued together. Stand subsequent to a wall to help near balance until you can become more advanced.

Do a three count elevate to your tip toes and a three count down. The biggest thing, do not tolerate your ankles come apart/rotate outward. Start with a smaller number and three sets and work your method to a larger number and 5 sets. Once this becomes glib, do it on a curb with one and only the balls of your foot on the curb to get more of a stretch and tougher raise.

You can also do first position calf raises, toes pointed out and heels together. This one and only takes a few minutes respectively day and you can start your step with them and run out with calf stretches.

Just remember, keep hold of those ankles straight and don't let them rotate out/ come apart!
First of adjectives GOOD FOR YOU!

Toe raises:
Stand at your kitchen counter hold on near both hands newly for balance/support rise up on your toes hold 5 seconds and slowly lower down do this 10-15 times...

Mini squat:
Stand within front of chair and pretend you are going to sit slowly bring buttocks towards form get roughly speaking half approach there and consequently slowly rise up... (like you were going to hold a seat and later changed your mind) do this 10-15 times...

Straight leg raise:
Lay on put a bet on in bed or on floor... (floor is better if you don't enjoy issues getting up) One leg with knees bent and foot on the ground other leg straight... Lift straight leg up about 10" rotten the floor hold for five seconds and slowly lower it rear legs down to the floor... switch and do the same to other side 10-15 times...
