Go Retire Psychiatrist

We’ve got a new challenge and it’s the single leg sit to stand exercise. It strengthens the glutes, quads, hamstrings, and your resolve to never exercise again.

You remember the one leg stand, which Sena and I can do. The single leg sit to stand is a different thing altogether. You can cheat by using one leg braked against the floor, which helps you lift off on one leg.

The challenge when you try it with just one leg is a deal breaker. One thing you can do is start off sitting from a higher level.

We both noticed that sitting toward the front of the chair works better than sitting near the back. This exercise takes practice and if we get any better at it, we’ll post an update.
