1. Stand in front of a chair with your feet hip-width apart.
Keep your knees over your feet.

2. Slowly lower your buns toward the chair without actually sitting down.
Be sure to tighten your abdominals to help support your back.

3. Keep your knees over your ankles and place your weight in your heels throughout the full range of motion.
Placing your arms out in front of you may help your balance.

4. Straighten your body upright and repeat.

Beginners can try 1 set of 8 to 10 reps. More conditioned exercisers can try 3 sets of 10 to 12 reps.
