This exercise is important for the muscles on the back of the thigh. These muscles are important for a healthy back and good balance.
Starting position
Stand straight, feet apart, prop with both hands on a chair or table for balance.
Practice
Lift one leg and bend that leg as far as possible with the heel towards the buttock. Slowly lower the leg all the way back down.
Make sure to keep the upper leg still throughout the exercise, only the lower leg makes the movement. Tighten the abs and glutes. Bend the leg you are standing on slightly and keep your back slightly forward.
Variation
By performing the exercise without support, you also train the balance.
