   Sit near the front of the chair. Keep your feet hip-width apart on the floor and knees over your feet. Keep your back straight, look forward, and cross your arms over your chest.

2. 2

   Lean your upper body forward until your shoulders are over your feet. Lift clearly away from the chair seat. Keep your feet down and arms crossed.

   Stand up tall in front of the chair with your arms crossed. Move your hips back and bend your knees as you sit again. Sit down slowly with your feet in the same place.
