Alternating Side-Bend Side-Step Jump

1. Starting Position:
- Stand with your feet hip-width apart.
- Engage your core by pulling your belly button towards your spine.
- Keep your arms relaxed at your sides or raised slightly in front of you for balance.

2. Movement:
- Begin by stepping to the right side, landing on your right foot while bending your right knee slightly.
- As you step, simultaneously reach your left arm overhead and bend your torso to the right.
- Hold this position for a moment to feel the stretch along your left side.

3. Jump:
- Push off your right foot and jump to the left.
- As you land on your left foot, bend your left knee slightly and reach your right arm overhead, bending your torso to the left.
- Keep your movements controlled and land softly to protect your joints.

4. Repetition:
- Alternate between stepping and jumping to the right and left.
- Aim for 10-15 repetitions on each side to start, gradually increasing as you build strength and coordination.

5. Cool Down:
- After completing your sets, take a few moments to stretch your sides and hips to relax the muscles used during the exercise.
