Build up your knees and ankles with easy moves. Then, progress to stair walking. Just do a search for exercize for knee and ankle strength.

I'm also dealing with Long Covid, so the bad ankles and knees on top of that, getting around is difficult.

Granted I am trying to get out and walk more but "post exertion malaise" as they call it, or in simpler terms, extreme exhaustion after physical activity, is a constant battle for me.

What she said.

For quads and knees start with a couple squats, building to more of them and deeper. For ankles get on your tiptoes, clench the calves, then back down. Start with five and build on that.

It's not hard and they do work. They're free, no equipment involved, can be done anywhere anytime. Good luck!
