              - 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.
