Since it's chilly outside, instead of turning up the heat or making a cup of hot chocolate, give these a try. All you need is a chair and plenty of room so you can stand comfortably on the seat. Be sure to use a chair that has no wheels, and place it on a carpet or a mat to prevent it from slipping.

Stand next to a chair. Place your right foot in the center of the chair seat.
Then step up and raise your left knee up in front of your chest. Hold like this for a count of three, trying to keep your spine and right leg straight. Keep breathing and engage your abs to support your back. Then slowly step down. Repeat this for a total of 20 times.

After lifting and holding your knee up, now stand up with your leg straight out. Hold like this for a count of three and then step back down. Repeat for a total of 20 times.
After that move, it's time to do some Broadway kicks. Instead of just holding your left leg up there, power kick it up as high as you can and then step back down. Kick 20 times. Now repeat the knee up holds, leg up holds, and Broadway kicks with the right leg.
