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.
