Sit Exercise Instructions

Positioning:
1. Stand with your back against the wall, feet hip-width apart.
2. Slide down the wall until your knees are bent at a 90-degree angle, as if you are sitting in an invisible chair.
3. Your back should remain flat against the wall throughout the exercise.

Movement:
1. Hold this position for 20-60 seconds, depending on your fitness level.
2. Keep your feet flat on the floor, with your knees aligned above your ankles.
3. To make it more challenging, extend your arms straight in front of you, parallel to the ground.
4. To exit the position, push through your heels to slide back up the wall, returning to a standing position.

Tips:
- Keep your core engaged to support your back.
- Avoid letting your knees extend past your toes.
- Maintain a steady breathing pattern throughout the exercise.
