Instructions

  1. Starting Position:

    • Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart.

    • Keep your arms bent at your sides or raise them in front of you for balance.

  2. Movement:

    • Lower your body into a slight squat by bending your knees and pushing your hips back, as if you are sitting in a chair.

    • While in the squat position, rise onto your toes. Keep your heels off the ground.

    • Hold this position for a moment.

  3. Returning:

    • Slowly lower your heels back to the ground while standing upright, returning to the starting position.

    • Make sure to keep your core engaged throughout the movement to maintain balance.

  4. Repetitions:

    • Repeat the squat and heel raise for a set of 10-15 repetitions.

  5. Breathing:

    • Inhale as you lower into the squat and exhale as you rise onto your toes.

  6. Tips:

    • Keep your back straight and avoid leaning forward excessively.

    • Ensure your knees do not extend past your toes during the squat.

    • Perform this exercise in a controlled manner to avoid injury.

This exercise helps strengthen your legs and improve balance and coordination.
