- Curl is very easy to do. Simply you lie on your back with both hands behind head and raise your upper body. Repeat this move for 15-20 hours.

- Exercises legs can be done lying on your side and lifting each leg repeatedly for 15-20 hours. You can also stand and hold on the back of a chair and lift your legs backward repeatedly.

- Stretching. Stand with your hands cons a wall and move your left leg back so that your foot is flat against the floor. Hold for a few seconds, then repeat this movement with the right leg. Another great stretching exercise you can do is lie on your back, use both hands, raise your right knee to the chest and hold for a few seconds. Repeat this routine with your left leg.

- Arm exercises. This is important to strengthen the tone muscle. For arm exercises, you can use an exercise band. Place both feet on one end of the strip, hold the other ends each hand and then repeatedly raise and lower the band (in a movement up and down for 10-15 minutes). If you have a pair of dumbbells, you can also choose to exercise your arms.

- If you work at home, sitting at your computer most of the time, try to press your toes in the up and down motion frequently. This activity will help maintain blood circulation flowing in your legs.

- Put on a CD and dance for about 20-30 minutes. It is a workout cardio-vascular. You can also incorporate sit-ups, jumping rope and push-ups in your daily exercise routine at home.
