INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Walk around the block or on a treadmill. Walking is a low impact exercise that will help warm up your muscles before you begin your knee exercises. Sit in a chair with your knees bent. Your feet should be directly under your knees. Place your hands on your hips. Slowly lean forward and stand up. Then slowly lower yourself back down to the sitting position. Practice one set of five to ten repetitions, four to five times per week. Place a mat on the floor. Lie on your back on the mat with your legs straight. Either place your arms and hands flat on the floor, or rest them on your chest. Keeping your leg straight, slowly lift it six inches (15 cm) off of the floor. Hold this position for five to ten seconds. Then lower your leg back down to the ground. Do one set of three repetitions, four to five times per week. Sit on the floor in an upright position with your legs straight. Slightly bend the affected knee and point your toes toward you. Place your hands around your knee. Slowly push your knee to a straight position. Hold this position for five to ten seconds. Then lift your knee back to the starting position. For assistance, place a towel or a small pillow under the affected knee. Do one set of three repetitions, four to five times per week. Place a mat on the floor. Lie on your back with your legs straight. Either place your arms and hands flat on the floor, or rest them on your chest. Slowly bend the affected knee to an upright position. Bend your knee as far as you can comfortably. Hold this position for five to ten seconds. Then slowly bring your knee back down until your leg is straight again. Practice one set of three repetitions, four to five times per week.

SUMMARY: Walk for five to ten minutes. Start with a sit to stand exercise. Try a straight leg raise. Do a knee straightening exercise. Try a knee bend.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Once you get to know someone, past experience with that person should help you anticipate his or her feelings, wants, and needs. Take some time to anticipate that person's response in a given situation and act in a way that takes his or her personality into account. For example, if you know that working late tends to make your spouse grumpy, take that into consideration the next time he or she has to stay late at the office. Don't complain about the fact that your spouse is late and avoid bringing up tense topics of conversation (in other words, now is not the time to scold your spouse for his or her spending habits). Consider doing something nice and relaxing for your spouse, too, like cooking dinner or drawing a bath. In all situations, you should show the same sort of respect you would like to receive. This is true even when someone treats you disrespectfully. Showing respect requires little effort beyond being civil. For instance, you might hold a door open for someone whose arms are full or hold your tongue instead of lashing out at someone who frustrates you. Don't play favorites, even if you really do favor one person over the other. Behaving justly in all circumstances will reduce the risk of creating hard feelings with people. When two or more opposing parties expect you to help mediate a disagreement, you should try to work toward a fair solution for all. For instance, if you're going out to dinner with two friends and they disagree about where to eat, it might be fairest to side with the friend who picks the least often, even if his or her tastes don't match your own. If that friend's first choice specializes in a type of food your other friend is allergic to, however, you might also want to point that out and suggest that the chooser pick another restaurant. Helping others can be inconvenient. If you only help out when doing so is easy and convenient, though, you aren't doing much beyond what anyone might do. A sweetheart helps out even when it isn't necessarily pleasant or simple. Be on the lookout for ways to help people who won't necessarily ask for help. This might mean giving up your seat to an elderly person when you're on a crowded bus or letting the person standing directly behind you in line cut in front when he or she has fewer items to buy. When interacting with people, you should do your best to smile at them. Laugh at their jokes and behave in a generally amiable manner. Smiling and laughing sets people at ease and sends the message that you are a pleasant, friendly person to be with. You need to pay attention to the mood, of course. If you're being introduced to someone at a funeral or other sad occasion, smiling and laughing could be perceived as insensitivity. Patience can be a hard skill to master, but the effort is usually worth it. People who are patient in situations that would usually evoke impatience are typically perceived as being sweet and good-natured. When you feel a bout of impatience coming on, try to catch it and calm down as soon as possible. For instance, if you're standing in a long line at a fast food restaurant, you might grow irritated when you see the clerk make mistakes or the people in front of you order abnormally slow. Remind yourself that losing your temper won't make the line go faster. When it's your turn, greet the cashier with a smile and be polite as you place your order. If the wait really proves too stressful or inconvenient, silently leave and go elsewhere without making a fuss about it. Fix the messes you make, whether those messes are figurative or literal. People who don't take responsibility and expect others to clean up after them come across as being rude and uncaring. By contrast, taking responsibility for your own space and life can make you seem much sweeter. In a literal sense, picking up after yourself means cleaning the spaces and tools you use. Throw your garbage away instead of leaving it lying around and wipe up your own spills instead of waiting for someone to do it for you. In a figurative sense, this means solving your own problems instead of relying on someone else to do it for you. When you get into an argument with someone, take the initiative and apologize first. Talk things over with the people you disagree with instead of waiting for a third party to step in and do it for you.

SUMMARY: Anticipate and act accordingly. Show respect. Treat everyone fairly. Go out of your way to help out. Smile and laugh. Have patience. Clean up your own messes.
