Knee Deep Bend

1. Starting Position:

   • Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart.

   • Keep your arms relaxed by your sides.

2. Movement:

   • Engage your core muscles to maintain stability.

   • Slowly bend your knees and lower your body as if you are going to sit back into a chair.

   • Keep your back straight and your chest lifted. Ensure that your knees do not extend past your toes.

   • Lower yourself until your thighs are parallel to the ground, or as low as your flexibility allows.

3. Hold:

   • Pause for a moment in the bent position.

4. Return:

   • Press through your heels to return to the starting position.

   • Straighten your legs fully while keeping your back straight and core engaged.

5. Repetitions:

   • Aim for 10 to 15 repetitions, adjusting based on your fitness level.

Tips:

• Make sure to breathe throughout the movement; inhale as you lower and exhale as you rise.

• If you feel discomfort in your knees, consider reducing the depth of the bend.
