Stand with your back against the wall and your legs about 2 feet away from it, shoulder width apart. Hold on to the back of a chair or other stable object for support, and raise one foot off the ground. While keeping that foot raised, slowly lower your trunk toward a sitting position, using the wall for support (see figure 8.1). Hold the end position for a few seconds, then slide back to standing. Repeat this movement 10 times.
