Now here you can start slowly jogging on your toes without lifting the lower limbs and giving any kind of jerk to it. You just have to stand on your feet and do jogging on your toes. You can continue doing this for 5 minutes and make sure that you don’t exhaust yourself by jogging fast or for long time.

- Sit to Stand: This is also an easy exercise that involves simple sit ups but make sure that it doesn’t get exhaustive. You have to sit on an arm chair, stool or any such furniture. Sit on the chair and take a deep breath and then lean forwards and stand up and relax the breath. And the sit down again and continue the exercise for 10 times or a little more.
