Squat Exercise

Make sure that you are warm before performing this activity.

  • Stand with your feet hip-width apart and hold onto a fixed surface if necessary, such as a kitchen worktop.
  • Bend your knees and push your bottom backwards, as though you were going to sit down.
  • Try to keep your knees above your toes.
  • Come back up to the start position.

Aim to do 10 squats every other day.

If you feel steady enough, perform them without holding on.
