Leg strengthening exercise to get into a scull
Old age has caught up with these ole bones and presently unable to lower myself with one leg as I put the other into the footstretcher. Ironically no problem erging (been doing 35' UT1 pieces for a couple of months) but would like to get back on the water this year. Any exercises anyone can suggest? Thank you in advance!

Simulate the movements in your house, and practice them over and over many times.Myopic Squirrel wrote: ↑March 8th, 2019, 5:07 pmOld age has caught up with these ole bones and presently unable to lower myself with one leg as I put the other into the footstretcher.

John, thank you for your interest. That's what I've figured out to do so far. Doing "sets" to failure - going as low as I can, trying to increase the frequency with each set, aiming for 3 - 4 sets per session. Right now have to space the sets out throughout the day.
