How to do supported single-leg knee dip

Set
Stand beside a stable chair and hold its back. Put your weight on the working leg. Lift the other foot just clear of the floor.
1
Bend the working knee and hip a little. Keep the heel down.
2
Pause in the shallow dip. Keep the knee over the toes.
3
Press through the working foot and rise slowly.
Switch sides and repeat.

Take care. Make a very small dip. Keep the working knee in line with the toes. Use the chair and stop for pain or poor balance.
