I then stood up.
Then sat down again.

You get the picture.
I was aware that I was subconsciously afraid of losing balance and falling over backwards, but after a few 'reps' was more than able to keep the weight off my toes and get up and down with ease.
Incredible really.
Just got to translate that from my bathroom to the gym....
