Walking Lunges

• Walking lunges will work your hamstrings, abs and balance. You will need somewhere you can walk forward for about 30 feet to 50 feet such as a hallway or flat outside area. Hold a dumbbell in each hand and relax your arms at your sides. Stride forward with your right foot as you drop down with your left knee. Lift your left heel as you drop toward the ground. Raise up as you continue to stride through with the opposite leg. Keep walking forward and perform 10 lunges for each leg.
  
  

Step-Ups to Balance

• The step-up to balance exercise works your balance, hamstrings and quads. Use an aerobic step, exercise bench or other stable surface large enough for you to place your foot on and step up. Stand in front of your bench and hold a dumbbells at your sides. Step up onto the bench and raise your opposite leg up into the air, bringing your knee to hip height. Perform 10 reps and repeat with the opposite leg.
  
  

Single-Leg Deadlift

• Stand on one leg and holding your dumbbells in front of your quads with your palms facing toward you. With your leg straight, bend over until the weights are almost to the floor while your raised leg lifts behind you for balance. Keep your back straight. Stand back up and use your hamstring to pull the weights and your body back to a standing position. Do three sets of 10 repetitions and then switch legs.
