Squatting helps to strengthen the quadriceps muscle that is very important for many daily activities such as sitting down and standing up from a chair, walking, and climbing stairs.
Stand upright with a chair behind you, and your arms out in front of you for balance.
Bend your knees, pushing your hips back behind you and leaning your body forwards, as though you are about to sit on the chair.
Come as close as you can to the chair without actually sitting on it and make sure that you do not feel unbalanced.
Be careful to keep your legs away from the back of the chair, so they don't press against it.
Stand back up, squeezing your buttock muscles to help with the movement.
Repeat the exercise, making sure you keep your back straight throughout.
