From a standing position, start bending both knees gradually with your hands sliding along the front of your thighs.
Apply pressure with your hands on your thighs to allow you to control the speed of the forward bend to avoid strain on your lower back.
To use your left hand, rest your right elbow onto the right thigh just above the knee and let your weight fall through your right shoulder and arm down into your leg.
This allows use of your left hand for activities at ground level.
To return upright, place your left hand above your left knee.
Push through your hand to start raising your torso, as you move up place your right hand at the top the thigh and continue to push upright.
Look directly ahead and push through both feet and hands to stand up straight.
