How to perform it
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Lower your body by bending your knees and pushing your hips back as if sitting on a chair. Keep your chest up and your back straight. Lower yourself until your thighs are parallel to the ground. Push through your heels to return to the starting position. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
