Phew! I have this band and I can do these, and I think I can find something like an air cushion around here. I just found this…. Phew!

I really like the standing on one foot exercise. Hopefully it will increase my overall balance too which is not one of my strong points.

Thank you for posting the exercises. I'll give the balancing thing a start and then see if I can track down one of those resistance bands. Oh, and one of those funky air cushion things. You know, my apartment is going to look like a physical therapist's office soon with all this new equipment...

That second one is pretty much exactly the same as one of the exercises my PT gave me last year when I was having problems. It was a great strengthening exercise! Glad you’re on the right track!

If you have that book you may want to check it out. I have also invested in ankle weights and started doing leg lifts (as in lying on your side and lifting the top leg up and slightly behind you). Once you start doing that with ankle weights that will tweak those hippy muscles for sure.
