Description: In a standing position, slowly slide one foot forward or backward while keeping the knee aligned, and control the movement to strengthen the muscles around the knee. Gently return to the starting position without losing balance.

Tips: Keep your back straight and engage the thigh muscles to protect the knee. Perform the movement slowly to maximize control and prevent jerks.

Progression: Gradually increase the number of repetitions or add a light weight to the ankles as the movement becomes easier.
