Weighted Sit To Stand

Physio

This is a weighted sit to stand. Stand with your feet just wider than hip width apart whilst holding the weight close to your chest. The weight can be a dumbbell or plate weight, or even something heavy you can find at home. Imagine you're going to sit on to a chair by bending your knees and your hips. Lower down to a seated position, pause, and then return to the top. You can make this more challenging by adding more weight. Alternatively, you can make this exercise easier by reducing the amount of weight that you are holding.
