The goal with the sit to face with a walker is to not grab the walker and pull it towards you when attempting to get up. Scoot to the sting of your chair. Slide your strong leg barely back. Put one hand on the seat of the chair or an armrest, and the opposite on the walker. Lean forward to shift your weight standing up. Then repeat this in reverse to take a seat down with the walker.
