SHIFT Fit
Sit to stand
Sit to stand: written movement steps, equipment and example doses. General information to help you choose an appropriate starting point.
How to do it
- Sit near the front of a sturdy chair, feet comfortable and slightly behind your knees. Lean forward a touch, drive through your feet and stand tall; sit back down under control instead of dropping onto the chair.
- Keep it controlled enough that you could stop the rep cleanly at any point.
Equipment
- chair
Example variations
The written steps above use one library example. These other doses are separate options, not instructions to complete every variation or progress automatically.
| Level | Example dose | Equipment |
|---|---|---|
| beginner | 3 minutes | chair |
| advanced | 5 minutes | chair |
| standard | 4 minutes | chair |
Safety and comfort
- What it should not feel like: sharp knee, hip or back pain
