Half knee bends are a bodyweight exercise that primarily targets the cardiovascular system while also engaging the quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes. The movement involves bending the knees and lowering the body as if sitting back into a chair, then returning to standing. This exercise is often used for light cardio, warm-ups, or rehabilitation.
