It is hard for most people to step BACK far enough and it is really important. quad lifts are another one that I thought of. sitting on the floor, one leg with the bottom of the foot on the floor, so that knee is totally bent, the other leg (that you are going to work) straight out in front of you (mostly straight, slight bend to the knee) you are lifting that mostly straight leg a few inches off the floor slowly and then lowering. you may (probably) not be able to do this on the floor can sit on a step or bench or chair And when I do these I do NOT hunch my back. I stay very upright with my chest and head lifted (not looking down). I looked for a link but could not find one.

sitting on the floor,
one leg with the bottom of the foot on the floor,
so that knee is totally bent,
the other leg (that you are going to work)
straight out in front of you
(mostly straight, slight bend to the knee)
you are lifting that mostly straight leg a few inches off the floor slowly and then lowering.

you may (probably) not be able to do this on the floor
can sit on a step or bench or chair

And when I do these I do NOT hunch my back. I stay very upright with my chest and head lifted (not looking down).

I only had to do about 40,000 (or so) of them before I started on squats. I also did the adductor/abductor combination a lot too. First, with my hand lightly pressed against the wall for support and later with weights added to the ankles. As the saying goes, where there's a will, there's a way. I have no doubt whatsoever that you will find that way. (I've decided to repeat workout 4a and 4b in Stage 1. I might have overdone my weight progression. I am apparently NOT Supergirl. *G*) .-= cammy@tipptoediet´s last blog ..<a href="http://tippytoediet.com/2009/09/im-shining-are-you-shining.html" rel="nofollow">I'm Shining, Are YOU Shining?</a> =-.
