  • Those low surfaces 😖
    It is so common, especially with arthritis to have difficulty standing up from lower surfaces like toilets, lower couches and chairs 🪑
    One of the reasons for this is the degree of strength it requires from your thighs primarily ☝🏽
    One of the best ways to master standing from lower surfaces is to simply practice. But you have to do it in a way that sets you up for success ✅
    There are many other ways to help strengthen the thigh muscles (quadriceps) as well. But if you can get into the habit of practicing 10 repetitions of these everyday- standing from lower surfaces will become easier 💪🏽
    Keep working to lower surfaces as you feel more confident and are less reliant on your arms 🙌🏼
    Many members of Adventurers for Life- my arthritis workout membership- are tackling lower surfaces with ease due to the extensive strength they’ve built up in the right areas 😍
    If you’re looking for more ways to strengthen so daily life becomes easier and the doors to adventures open with osteoarthritis- head to the link in my profile or go to keeptheadventurealive.com/start to get started ‼️

    I love the way you not only tell us the WHY we can't do something - the quads need to work harder when the knee is at this advanced angle but you tell us what to do to fix it, at varying levels. I find that being told helps me realise that I'm not broken AND that the easy level I have to start at will be just temporary, just until I am stronger. A HUGE Thankyou from Australia.

    I am 61 broke my ankle last year and despite being very active up until then, I had to sit around a lot and keep my weight off it and omg my opposite knee has took the strain and I can't believe how much muscle strength I have lost and find getting up off low seats difficult!!! 😮 I am going to put your leg strengthening exercises in to a routine for daily practice because I am absolutely desperate to get my muscle strength back, I have also had repeated ankle strains so I need to strengthen those too. I used to be a runner and fitness fanatic and ride horses too. Thank you so much for your advice. 😊

    Yep. Been using a toilet extender since November 2022. Now I’m doing “sit to stand” and squats and I use that same blue AIREX pad. Sometimes 2 of them. Public toilets are too low.
    I’ve been taught a few different ways actually - leaning forward - sliding your hands down your thigh - like you’re playing shortstop and stand up. But sometimes - I can’t and go right back down - so I guess in a sense - I’m doing the “partial sit to stand” haha.

      If you lift the level of the seat, remember to use a small step to put your feet up while defecating, trying to defecate sitting rather than squatting makes it harder.

    TOTALLY! I can get up from most things, can get down no problem, but if I go onto a short stool or the floor, I have to manoeuvre around until I can haul or be hauled up again. Mine seems to come from my hips though, the front of the hip bone specifically across the lower abdomen. My knees are fine.
