Doing Sit To Stand The Right Way

Sit-To-Stand-Exercise
  1. Start by sitting in a sturdy chair with your feet hip-width apart.
  2. Keep your hands clasped at your chest.
  3. Without using your hands, push through your feet to stand.
  4. Once standing, pause briefly.
  5. Then, control your descent back into the chair by bending your knees, ensuring a smooth and steady motion.

Common Sit To Stand Mistakes

  1. Avoid using your hands to assist the movement; it reduces the exercise’s effectiveness.
  2. Ensure your knees don’t buckle inward or outward as you stand and sit.
  3. Keep your back straight to maintain proper form and maximize muscle engagement.
