shallow standing knee bend
- stand with your hands lightly resting on a counter or chair in front of you. put your feet shoulder-width apart.
- 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.
- lower yourself about 15 centimetres (6 inches). your heels should stay on the floor at all times.
- rise slowly to a standing position.
- repeat 8 to 12 times.
