To perfom chair-assisted squats, stand in front of a chair that is sturdy, keeping your feet shoulder-width apart. Now, lower yourself slowly as if sitting, and lightly touch the chair. Avoid sitting on the chair. Then rise back up and keep your chest lifted.
For standing crunches, stand tall and keep your hands behind your head. Now, raise your right knee toward your left elbow, engaging your core. Return to the start position and repeat the motion on the other side.
Both these exercises– chair-assisted squats and standing crunches– engage the core and leg muscles, and also improve stability. Doing each for brief 30-second sets repeatedly can help one in their weight loss journey.
