How to perform it
Step-by-step instructions
- 01Stand with the heels elevated and hold a fixed support lightly with one or both hands.
- 02Rise onto the forefeet, brace the trunk, and keep the hips extended as the knees begin traveling forward.
- 03Lower by bending the knees and allowing the body to lean backward as one line from knees to shoulders.
- 04Descend only through a pain-free range in which the knees track with the toes and the quadriceps remain loaded.
- 05Extend the knees to return upright, using the support only as much as needed for balance and control.
