• Perform this exercise with the aid of a sturdy chair or bench.
• Stand in front of the chair or bench with your back toward the chair and feet shoulder-width apart.
• Keep your head up as a natural extension of your spine.
• The goal of this exercise is to help beginners learn the squat.
• This movement will also help in gaining proficiency when getting in and out of a chair.

Movement:

1. Begin to sit in the chair lowering your body until your legs are at a 90-degree angle.
2. Contracting your quadriceps, slowly return to the starting position, stopping just short of the legs being fully extended.
3. Keep a slight bend in the knees.

Key Points:

• Inhale while sitting in the chair.
• Exhale while raising yourself from the chair.
• As you get stronger, you will want to add resistance such as dumbbells in your hands.
