There are many exercises that are similar to this, including one exercise that has become very popular recently, called “The Bird Dog” or “Cobra” exercise.  This is a standing exercise that targets the upper and lower body, and is more appropriate for strengthening the entire body.  This exercise can be done by performing a large number of squats, going down to a squatting position and then standing up again.  I would recommend that you take breaks from doing this if it causes you to feel unbalanced or dizzy.

Of course!  You can also just work on getting stronger in general.  You might try doing push-ups, sit-ups, and pull-ups.  Or perhaps a martial arts class like karate or tae kwon do might be a good option for you.

Could your provide me with some exercises I could do to strengthen my legs.

Sure!  One simple method is the “Starfish” or “Spiderman” exercise.  To do this, you’ll want to get down on your hands and knees, then imagine that you are a starfish or spider.  Begin by curling your toes towards your shins, then curl your shins and knees towards your thighs.  You should eventually curl your body all the way over until you are resting your hands on the ground.  You may feel a stretch in your knees, or at the backs of your legs and lower back.  You can do these “curls” as many times as you like, but the good thing is that your muscles get stronger as you do this, so you can actually get better at this just by doing it!

Is this exercise good for someone who is just getting back into exercising after a long time of not doing any?
user
This exercise is definitely great for people who are returning to exercising after a break, and many people love it!  The benefits of this exercise include strengthening your legs, core, lower back, and increasing your flexibility.
