Instructions
1. Start by standing straight with your feet shoulder-width apart.
2. Extend your arms straight out in front of you, parallel to the floor.
3. Begin by slowly bending your knees and lowering your body as if sitting back into a chair. Ensure that your knees do not extend past your toes.
4. While lowering your body, simultaneously bring your arms back towards your body, brushing the sides of your thighs as you move your arms back.
5. Lower yourself down as far as you can comfortably go, ideally until your thighs are parallel to the floor or lower.
6. Press through your heels and begin to rise back up to the starting position, swinging your arms forward again to return to the extended position parallel to the floor.
7. Repeat the movement for the desired number of reps and sets.
Ensure that your back remains straight throughout the exercise to avoid strain, and your movements are controlled to maximize muscle involvement and minimize the risk of injury.
