Standing Supported Lunges

Put a pillow or towel on the floor in front of you and step over it. Bend the back knee so it goes straight down towards the pillow, or as close as you can get while still being able to get back up. Use the wall or another stable surface for support. Keep the front knee behind the toes. The wider your legs are, the more stable you will be, and the narrower, the harder this will be. Keep the back straight and the back heel off the ground. As it gets easier, try using less or no support. Switch sides and repeat.

Lunges work on your balance, strength and stability at the lower legs and hips, and can make it easier to get up from the floor.
