Leg Exercises You Can Do Before Bed

Using just the five minutes before you go to bed can be a game-changer when it comes to your legs. Here are a few exercises you can do that transform your legs little by little each day.

Exercise #1

Bend your knees one by one, and return your legs to the initial position. Keep your knees together, and keep the front part of your thighs tensed.

Repeat: 10 times for each leg.
