Shallow standing knee bend
- Stand with your hands lightly resting on a counter or chair in front of you. Put your feet shoulder-width apart.
- Slowly bend your knees so that you squat down like you're going to sit in a chair. Make sure that your knees don't go in front of your toes.
- Lower yourself about 6 inches. Your heels should stay on the floor at all times.
- Rise slowly to a standing position.
- Repeat 8 to 12 times.
