Hi folks,

I'm having physio for knee ligament damage. The exercises take about 25mins twice a day to complete, I do them for both legs. They consist of the follow:

Sitting on the floor raised up on elboms, legs outstretched. I have to tense my thigh muscle and hold my leg 3" off the floor for a count of 10 x 20 times.
Sitting up on floor, leg supported by a folded cushion under kjnee, leg lifted off floor with foot outwards for 10 secs x 20.
Laying face down on the floor lifting leg up towards bottom 20 times.
Sitting on a chair using a firm resistance band tied to my ankle and held to the floor with the opposing foot I have to raise my leg x 30.
Using the band again stil tied to ankle, this time holding the end over the opposing knee and raising leg x30.

Then using the band I also do some arm exercises:
All sitting on the chair, with feet on band, holding one end in each hand I pull up to my chest x27
Holding each end of band pull across my chest till arms are outstretched to either side x27
holding each end of band, arms above my head, pull down till hands dip to around shoulder level x27

I know it's hard to visualise what I'm doing....and i've probably not explained it very clearly!


My question is could anyone make an educated guess as to how many calories this kind of thing burns.....I'm not looking to log them, but I am curious to know

Many thanks for your thoughts.
