Chair Squat

A modified squat using a chair for support to help with balance and stability.

Instructions

• Stand in front of a chair with feet shoulder-width apart.
• Ensure the chair is positioned securely and will not slide or tip over.
• Engage your core and keep your chest lifted.
• Lower your hips back and down as if you are going to sit on the chair, but stop just above the seat.
• Push through your heels and return to the starting position.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Using momentum rather than muscle control to stand up.
• Letting knees collapse inward.
• Allowing your chest to drop forward.
