Many of the exercises need to be done by riding a bicycle




A. The biking position helps improve the position of your neck.

B. The movement of pedaling gives range-of -motion and stretching exercises to the knee.


C. Pushing the pedal down strengthens the thigh muscle.


D. Pushing down on the padal stretches the tight heel cored.

Ideas For Making Exercises Fun


Exercises can quickly become boring, and you will not want to do them. So, turn them into games whenever possible.

EXERCISES TO IMPROVE BALANCE AND CONTROL


Play games to see if you can lift one leg, and then the other. This will help your weight from side to side and keep your balance.
