    Place your feet thigh-length away from a flat wall.

    Lean your back against the wall.

    Lower you trunk until your thighs are parrallel to the floor.

    Hold for one minute.

    Relax.

    Repeat.

    Squats and lunges. Hold a can of beans/bag of sugar in each hand to add a little weight as required.

    What's a Hindu squat?!

    single leg pistol squats. Place one leg infront of you off the floor have your arms held infront of you as a counter weight. Squat down as if sitting on the floor, touch your arse to the back of the leg you have left on the floor leaving you in a sitting position with one leg off raised out infront of you. Return to standing. This is good for working your core muscles as well as it requires quita a lot of ballence.

    A quick google found this http://www.beastskills.com/Pistol.htm didn't read it but the images give you the gyst.

    Calf raises are good for ankle and calf strength.

    Stand with your heels over the end of a step so only your toes and toe end of the foot are touching the step. Raise yourself up and down in as controlled mannor as possible. Full extention and so on. I did this when recovering from tendonitis and now my calfs look like vacume packed war heads.

    rather than static things like woppit said, do explosive squat jumps.

    3 sets of 10 twice a day. hardly any time required

    squat down, jump as high as you can, and repeat as soon as you land

    there are other things too but i'm busy

    injury bollox disclaimer etc, ZZZzzz

    To add to Idave's Plycometric squats, plycometric lunges are a good one: put your lead foot foward, lunge, jump up and swap your lead and trailing foot so your trailing foot now leads, land and lunge. Repeat. Or an easy one for lunges, put lead foot foward, lunge, as rising from the lunge take a step foward planting your trailing foot infront and lunge again continue to "walk" like this accross a room turn round and repeat as many sets of room crossings as required. (helps if you have a room that roughly matches an even number of full steps/lunges) Add weight to increase the difficulty of both excercises, but if using a barbell with the Plycometric lunges be careful as you don't want to land out of ballence and fall over!
