Sitting Exercises:
1. Seated Leg Lifts:

-Lower it slowly and repeat with the other leg.
This helps strengthen the quadriceps and improve leg mobility.

2. Seated Marches:
-Sit tall with feet flat on the floor.
-Lift one knee as high as comfortable, then lower it.
-Alternate legs in a marching motion to enhance hip flexor strength and circulation.

3. Seated Torso Twists:

-Gently twist your torso to one side, hold briefly, and return to the center.
-Repeat on the other side to improve trunk rotation and flexibility.

4. Seated Arm Raises:
-Sit with your back straight.

This exercise helps with shoulder strength and mobility.

Standing Exercises:
1. Supported Standing Up:

-Practice standing up from a seated position and sitting back down.
This improves functional strength and stability.

2. Standing Heel Raises:

-Slowly raise your heels off the ground and then lower them back down.
This strengthens the calves and improves balance.

3. Side Leg Lifts:
-Stand and hold onto a chair or wall for support.
-Lift one leg out to the side and hold for a few seconds before lowering it.
-Repeat with the other leg to strengthen hip abductors and enhance balance.
