Healthy Tip

Bad knees?  Squats, though feared, are great for improved knee stability, leg strength, and hip health when done correctly.  Here’s how:  Standing in front of your chair, move to sit back in the chair.  Stop before actually sitting, and then stand back up; repeat.  Make sure your knees don’t extend past your toes.  Putting your arms out in front will aid in balance and the chair is always there in case you start to lose your balance.  See, you’ve been doing squats every day anyway!  Add more and help your knees!
