Instructions

Mini Squat with a Chair

Positioning:
1. Stand facing the chair with your feet shoulder-width apart.
2. Keep your arms straight and hold onto the back of the chair for support.
3. Ensure your feet are flat on the ground.

Movement:
1. Slowly bend your knees and lower your body as if you are going to sit down on the chair.
2. Keep your back straight and your chest up. Avoid leaning forward.
3. Lower yourself until your thighs are parallel to the ground, or as low as feels comfortable without losing form.
4. Hold the position for a moment, feeling the tension in your thighs.
5. Push through your heels to return to the starting position, straightening your legs.
6. Repeat the movement for 10-15 repetitions, resting as needed.

Tips:
- Focus on your breathing; inhale as you lower and exhale as you rise.
- Make sure your knees do not extend past your toes during the squat.
- Keep your movements slow and controlled to maintain balance and reduce the risk of injury.
