Equipment
Engage your core, keep your chest up and your back straight as you slowly bend your knees, lowering your body as if you are sitting back into a chair, ensuring your knees don't go past your toes.

Pause for a moment at the bottom of the movement, then push through your heels, extending your hips and knees to return to the starting position.
Repeat this movement for your desired number of repetitions, ensuring to maintain proper form throughout each rep.
