Positioning:
1. Sit on the edge of a sturdy chair, keeping your back straight and core engaged.
2. Place your feet flat on the ground, hip-width apart.
3. Lift your right leg and cross it over your left leg, resting your right ankle on your left knee.
4. Ensure your posture remains upright, with shoulders relaxed.
Movement:
1. From the starting position, slowly lower your right leg towards the ground while keeping your left foot planted.
2. Lift your right leg back to the cross position and repeat this movement for a desired number of repetitions (start with 8-12).
3. After completing the repetitions, switch legs: lift your left leg and cross it over your right knee, then repeat the lowering and lifting movements.

Tips:
- Keep your movements slow and controlled to enhance muscle engagement.
- Breathe steadily and avoid holding your breath.
- Make sure the chair is stable to prevent any risk of falling.
