How to do the Sit-to-Stand Exercise
- Sit tall near the front of a sturdy chair with your feet flat on the floor and hip-width apart.
- Cross your arms over your chest or reach them forward, and lean your chest slightly forward.
- Press through your feet and stand up tall, squeezing your glutes at the top.
- Slowly bend your knees and hips to lower yourself back onto the chair, then repeat.
Tips
- Lower down as slowly as you can rather than dropping into the seat.
Adjustments
- Push off the chair with your hands or use a higher seat if standing up feels hard.
