This exercise requires you to use an exercise band loop. Both of these exercises are highly recommended for physical therapy and are a great way to make sure that your muscles remain strong. The first exercise is aimed at working your leg region. Simply places the resistance band loop around your legs just above your knees.
Start with an upright position and slowly squat down, then repeat. It is a good idea to do 4 sets of 12 reps each seeing that your legs are able to handle a lot more strain than normal. The second exercise is aimed at working various areas of your arms as well as your shoulder.
Simply places both your hands in between the resistance band loop and keep your hands apart at shoulder width. Keep in an upright position and make sure your elbows remain stationary against the side of your body. Now slowly move your hands in an outwards position making sure you keep your arms stationary. Push out as far as you can go. Try starting off with 3 sets of about 10 reps each.
