Do this knee exercise at least twice a day, increasing the number of leg raises as your quad muscles get stronger. Note: When you can easily do this knee exercise for 3 minutes or more, you can add more resistance by sitting in a chair, straightening your leg and lifting it. Keep your leg straight while lifting, but do not lock the knee.
