This is the sissy squat and it's a great addition to your leg routine that's safe for healthy knees.
You could do a regressed version of this exercise by holding a chair and standing in front of a wall or something that you would hit at approximately half the depth to the floor and work up from there.
Just make sure your knees go straight ahead and directly over your second and third toes.
