Coach's Tips

Sit on a chair and support your body with your arms as you lower yourself.

Start Position

1. Ensure your back stays straight and your elbows are close to your sides.

2. Select a stable chair that won't move out of place.

3. If you experience any discomfort, cease the activity and consult a healthcare provider.

Proper Form

1. Lower yourself until your arms form a 90-degree angle.

2. Maintain a straight back and keep your elbows near your body.

3. Push yourself back up to the initial position.

Breathing Technique

1. Breathe in as you lower your body.

2. Breathe out as you lift yourself back up.

Precautions

1. Position yourself at the edge of a chair or bench with your feet flat on the ground, arms behind you, and palms resting on the chair.

2. Raise your hips off the chair by straightening your arms.

3. Align your feet, back, and head with your hips in a straight line.
