Hard To Stand Up After Sitting - Simple Exercise to Strengthen Legs

Find it hard to stand up after sitting? Wonder why you have trouble getting up after sitting on the couch? This video will show you a simple exercise to strengthen legs so you can stand up if you have difficulty rising from a chair.

Difficulty rising from a chair is a common complaint. If you have muscle weakness in your legs or butt, you may have trouble standing up from a chair. Matt shows you a simple home exercise to build leg strength to stand up from a chair. The reason so many people have trouble getting up out of a chair is not arthritis. It's not being "old." The reason you find it hard to stand from sitting is because your hip and leg muscles are weak. This simple drill will help you build leg strength and hip strength so you can stand from sitting easily.

Matt, my man! Your videos encourage me so much in my quest to improve my posture. You teach me to safely test and trust my body, and I'm so very grateful for you.

Yep, sitting is a killer ! Hips are very angry with me right now. Your advice and moves are improving my quality of life! So happy I found you..thank you for what you do!!

[supenskylesko]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! 🙂❤️ I am recovering from open heart surgery, and was very upset because I was having problems raising up from a sitting position without using my hands to push up. Your exercise suggestion worked immediately!!! I'm going to continue with the exercises to get my usual level of strength back. So again, many thanks.

Nice. Very helpful for those of us who are losing functional strength.

Thanks man, I’m still young like 16 and my right leg is weak now but I am still decently active; Walking at least 3 miles daily and doing that kind of stuff but I just woke up today and my right leg I stepped out of bed and almost fell back into bed on the right side because it feels weak behind the knee, Forgot what that part is called but there. I can walk just fine but I don’t know whats wrong. Hopefully your video helps me and good job making this video- I’ll reply in about a week or so and give you an update.

I also had problems before because I can’t sit on my knees or apply enough pressure to my knees because I was going to fix something under my desk but noticed it felt odd.

Thanks again, I will be back in a week!

Around 6:05, you say, “If you want more detailed information about why sitting is just so hard on your body...”

Which link is that? There are many and I am pressed for time, on my way out the door.

Thanks for all of your helpful advice and wisdom!

[firstbloodwarrior]

Hi, thank you for this content. Can you exercise away arthritic knees?

[cuznerdexter]

Hi Matt, another great video 😀 Do you have a link or recommendation for the adjustable workstation you used on the floor? That looks great!

[shashanksinghal]

Can u tell me the reason when my calf muscle hurts? Cause I have not done exercises for 1 month (cause my calf muscles are well formed) or do I need to do it more

[donnamahoney]

Thank you! I hope this helps my stiffness! Just getting off the couch if I’ve sat for more than 15 I feel like I’m 95!! It only lasts about 30 secs but not pleasant ! I’m assuming this all ligamentous Any recommended supplements ? Cheers!

[lynnsorensen]

I have a totally degenerated left hip...the left leg is considerably shorter than the right. It does not like to bend, & I find that the longer I sit or stand, the more it does not want to bend. Will this exercise help or harm me?

[mrsjazzcat]

This is so helpful. Thankyou. But sometimes while doing the exercises, my leg muscles cramp. 😞

[naomiamriche]

I have never had problems with movement despite my back pain. But now I am scared and desperate. Please help.
I had Covid in November
Recovered, but since than I have difficulty standing up from sitting
Hope this can prove 🙏
