" The V Chair: Stand, holding onto the back of a sturdy chair or countertop with your arms extended. Put your feet together and turn your toes out, so they make a small V. Come on to the balls of your feet and lean back, so your hips are in line with your knees. Bend your knees slightly, keeping them in line with your toes. Now, pulse up and down about 3 or 4 inches. Keep going for between 30 and 60 seconds. Be sure to keep your heels together and lifted and your knees bent in a half squat. If you want a little extra work in your upper thighs, squeeze a rubber playground ball in between them while you pulse. This move works your legs and your butt."
