The deep chair squat strengthens the legs, hips, and core while promoting mobility in the knees and ankles. Using a chair as a guide helps maintain proper form and balance, making it suitable for building lower-body strength in a controlled and safe way. This exercise supports functional movements such as standing from a seated position and is valuable for both fitness and rehabilitation.

- The feet should be hip width apart.
- Bend the knees and send the bottom back to the chair.
- Use the arms outstretched as a counterbalance.
- Tap the bottom to the chair and rise.
