Instructions

1. Starting Position:
- Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart.
- Keep your arms relaxed by your sides.

2. Movement:
- Engage your core muscles to maintain stability.
- Slowly bend your knees and lower your body as if you are going to sit back into a chair.
- Keep your back straight and your chest lifted. Ensure that your knees do not extend past your toes.
- Lower yourself until your thighs are parallel to the ground, or as low as your flexibility allows.

3. Hold:
- Pause for a moment in the bent position.

4. Return:
- Press through your heels to return to the starting position.
- Straighten your legs fully while keeping your back straight and core engaged.

5. Repetitions:
- Aim for 10 to 15 repetitions, adjusting based on your fitness level.

Tips:
- Make sure to breathe throughout the movement; inhale as you lower and exhale as you rise.
- If you feel discomfort in your knees, consider reducing the depth of the bend.
