Soooo anyone who wants to improve their thigh strength and enjoys the burn!

Lean on a wall and slide down so you look like your sitting on a chair!

How long can you hold it?

See if you can strengthen each day by adding more time each day!

For the hardcore dudes try variations !

Switch legs every 20 seconds

Grab something with a little weight in each hand and do some bicep curls!

Enjoy the burn and leg shake!

My arthritic and creaking knees wouldn't cope!

Or put it another way, if I even managed to get into the squat position, I'd be stuck there! I'd need a crane to lift me back up to vertical!

Yeah, my knees are the issue more than anything. I stop before I have to otherwise or life is bad for a few days. But it's buildable with my knees. Sympathy from a fellow (different) knee issue sufferer.

This is exactly what we were forced to do at boarding school. You also had to keep your arms out straight in front of you and flick your fingers constantly whilst they placed pillows on top of your arms. Somewhat militant when you’re 13 but I’d do it now without the pillows.

You sit on the edge of a chair of box and stand up and sit down (in a controlled way, not just dropping yourself onto it). Don't use your hands and keep good squat form. It's harder than it sounds. You can progress by holding weights as you do it and can even do it with a barbell though I'd recommend a box over a chair for that for safety reasons.

Your feet should be together. Start with knees flexed at 45° and gradually progress from there

Not really to begin with

Feet and arm where ever comfortable

They certainly do not need to be together

A perfect 90 degrees is also not essential to begin

The only things you can do wrong are

A. not do them at all

And contort yourself and push to injury

5 seconds near sitting legs comfortably apart

Is perfect

Strict form should come from the self as one progresses

You could imagine sitting on my knee. If you have a great imagination, you could stay 10 to 15 mins in the same position!
