These exercises improve knee and hip flexibility as well as the circulation in your lower legs and can help prevent blood clots.
Length: 0:36
Lift your heels off the ground as high as you can. This improves the circulation in your lower legs and can help prevent blood clots. Make sure you’re sitting up straight in your chair when you do these and do at least ten every hour if you’re otherwise not moving much.
Next, some marching! Lift your knee as high as you can in the air. Your back should stay straight, and you can alternate sides or do one side at the time if you’d prefer.
And though it’s not shown here, you can also kick your knee straight out in front of you while sitting in a chair. All of this will improve your knee and hip flexibility.
