How to Chair Squat

Starting Position

1. Place the chair behind you and stand in front of the chair with your feet shoulder-width apart.

2. Open your chest and bring your hands together in front of your chest.

Proper Form

1. Slowly sit back while pushing your hips back, stopping just before touching the surface.

2. Push off the ground with your heels to return to the starting position.

3. Repeat with a steady rhythm.

Breathing Technique

Breathe in while going down, and breathe out while standing up.

Precautions

1. Don't completely sink down; keep the tension in your muscles.

2. Bend from your hips so that your knees don't go too far past your toes.
