SIT-TO-STAND EXERCISE
SIT-TO-STAND EXERCISE TECHNIQUE
Sitting up tall in your chair, with your feet shoulder-width apart.
Shuffle forward to the front of your chair.
From this position, bringing your feet back, so your heels are behind your knees.
With your hands on the chair, on the arm-rests of the chair, or on your thighs, you’re going to lean forward at the hips so your nose comes over your toes.
Now stand up putting equal weight through both feet/legs.
Make sure you fully extend your legs at the knees and the hips.
And to sit down, hinging at the hips, reaching for the chair and sitting down.
Make sure to keep your chest up throughout the exercise.
Repeat for the set repetitions.
Also, make sure that your knees remain in line with your toes, and they don’t move inwards when you sit down and stand up.
NOTE:
To further challenge yourself, trying placing your arms across your chest or using a lower chair.
To make this exercise easier, use a higher chair.
