How to do it
Stand facing a post or vertical bar and hold it with one hand.
Extend one leg while doing a deep squat with the other, so that your glutes touch the ground and without lifting the heel at any time.
Get up again, helping yourself with the arm as much as necessary.
Over time, reduce this help.
