Description

Stand with your back to a chair, feet hip-width apart, and arms relaxed at your sides, holding a weight at arm’s length toward the floor. Perform a squat by pushing your hips back, as if sitting onto the chair. Lower yourself slowly, keeping your knees aligned with your feet and your back straight. Slowly return to a standing position, controlling the movement. Repeat the exercise smoothly, maintaining proper posture and steady breathing.
