Shallow standing knee bend

  1. Stand with your hands lightly resting on a counter or chair in front of you. Put your feet shoulder-width apart.
  2. Slowly bend your knees so that you squat down like you're going to sit in a chair. Make sure that your knees don't go in front of your toes.
  3. Lower yourself about 6 inches. Your heels should stay on the floor at all times.
  4. Rise slowly to a standing position.
  5. Repeat 8 to 12 times.
