Especially for the muscles in their legs, other than swimming.And they can't walk much so stuff they can do at home while sitting or on the floor.They are 25 years old.

Do this exercise with ankle weights on while watching TV http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/2002/legcurl2.jpgDo this exercise while sitting in a chair with ankle weights http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/exerpop.php?Name=Leg+ExtensionsDo stretch every day and work at it progressively. You can't become flexible overnight. Work at the rate you are comfortable with, and then slowly increase the difficulty (length of time, length of reach or both). Stretch link: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/stretches.htmStretching not only improves appearance, lengthens muscles, and gives that lean, toned look on stage, but it also improves fitness and health. It is the ultimate for preventing injuries; in fact, at least 50% fewer overextension injuries are reported with athletes who use a regular stretching routine compared to those who don't! Stretching is a great warm-up or cool down and improves muscular coordination, as well as prevents soreness and promotes faster recovery.Concentrate on overall fitness and maintaining a healthy heart.Nothing beats healthy eating.Eat a combination of lean protein and healthy carbohydrates every few hours throughout the day to speed up fat loss and maintain stable energy levels. For best results, eat six times a day. Weight train intensely, three times per week on alternating days with aerobic exercise three times per week. Eat yourProtein from (lean chicken, fish, egg-whites and beans) Carbs from fruits and vegetablesDrink 10 to 20 glasses water per day NO SODA
