1. Start by standing upright with your feet hip-width apart. Keep your arms by your sides or on your hips.
2. Take a step back with your right foot and lower into a reverse lunge. Your right knee should nearly touch the ground, and your front thigh should be parallel to the floor. Make sure your left knee is directly over your ankle and not pushing past your toes.
3. Push through your left heel to return to the standing position.
4. From the standing position, immediately lift your right leg out to the side, keeping your toe pointed forward and leg straight. This is the side tap.
5. Place your right foot back to the ground in the starting position.
6. Repeat the reverse lunge and side tap three more times with the right leg.
7. After completing four reverse lunges and four side taps on the right side, switch to the left leg and perform the same movements.
8. Continue alternating between sides for the desired number of reps and sets.
Remember to maintain good posture throughout the exercise! Keep your core engaged, and your shoulders relaxed to maximize the effectiveness of the workout and avoid injury.
