Tips

Stand with your feet just greater than shoulder-width apart.

With your abs braced and glutes squeezed, start the movement at the hip joint and push your hips backward and “sit back into a chair”.

Make your hips go back as far as possible and keep your knees in a straight line.

Keep your low back tensed in a neutral position. Don’t let your lower back round.

Push with your glutes, hamstrings, and quadriceps to return to the start position.
