Wall sits

●       Now go into a sitting position with your knees at a 90-degree angle.
●       Engage your core muscles and stay firm in this position for a minute.

This will tone up your thighs, calves, and lower stomach muscles.

Straight leg kickbacks

●       Keep your hands firmly on a wall/chair and place the legs apart.
●       Engage your glutes and core.
●       Straighten your back and lift a leg back without bending your knees.
●       Change your leg every time you complete a rep.
●       You can also add a resistance band above your knees to intensify.

This is a great way to strengthen the inner thighs.

Hip bridges

●       Lay down with your back and keep the knees bent.
●       Engage your core and glutes.
●       Relax your hands and keep them on the floor.
●       Slowly rise up to form a bridge while resting your shoulder and head.
●       Ensure that it is flat from your knees to your chest.
●       Tighten your glutes and hold this position.
●       Come back to the initial position and repeat.
●       You can intensify this by placing your foot on a raised surface like a chair.

These simple exercises will stretch your leg muscles and strengthen them for a good jog or run.
