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.
