Small Knee Bends - PYF

In this video Cindy is demonstrating how to perform standing Small Knee Bends.  This exercise strengthens muscles in your thighs and buttocks, which help with standing up from a sitting surface.

  • Stand with your feet flat on the floor, shoulder width apart
  • Bend your knees, slightly sticking your buttocks backwards (small bend in knees, not a squat)
  • Should feel like when you are starting to sit down in a chair
  • Don't allow your knees to slide forward past your toes
  • Straighten your knees, returning to upright position

Perform 5-10 reps, 1-2x per day

The number of exercise repetitions and sets per day are just a suggestion and should be adjusted, as needed, to fit your fitness level and tolerance.
