Hi, everyone. The exercise that we're going to review today is the chair squat, also known as the sit to stand. Make sure you've got a nice sturdy chair, no wheels on the chair. If there's arms on a chair and you want to use, that's OK too. Make sure you scooted towards the edge of your seat. Your feet are hip width or shoulder width apart, and your feet are a little bit underneath you. Not too far away from the chair. We're gonna rock our momentum forward like we're picking up a gift out front.

So we're gonna rock the momentum forward. Now we've got to push through with the legs to stand nice and tall. Now we just have to do the reverse to sit. So bending at the knees, we push our hips back. Our bottom lowers carefully to that chair and we sit without plopping. Same thing. Rock it forward. Take that momentum. Push up tall. Control it on the way back down. Now, if you want more of a challenge, cross those arms. Press through. Stand tall. Control it on the way down.
