Bodyweight Bouncing Shift Sky Reach
Positioning
1. Start Position: Stand tall with your feet shoulder-width apart. Keep your knees slightly bent and your core engaged.
2. Arm Position: Bend your elbows and bring your hands close to your chest, as if you are ready to punch.
Movement Instructions
1. Bouncing Motion: Begin by slightly bending your knees and moving your hips back as if you are preparing to jump. Keep your core tight to maintain balance.
2. Shift to One Side: As you bounce gently, shift your weight to one side (e.g., the right). While shifting, extend the opposite arm (left) upward, reaching high as if you’re trying to touch the sky.
3. Return to Center: Quickly return to the starting position, bringing your arm back down and shifting your weight back to the center.
4. Repeat on Other Side: Now shift your weight to the left while reaching your right arm up and out.
5. Continue Bouncing: Alternate sides in a smooth, rhythmic manner, maintaining a light bounce in your knees and a strong engagement in your core throughout the movement.
Tips
- Keep your movements controlled and avoid swinging your arms too hard.
- Focus on extending your reach to enhance flexibility and strength.
- Maintain a steady breathing pattern throughout the exercise. Breathe in as you prepare to shift and breathe out as you extend your arm.
- Aim for 10-15 repetitions on each side, or perform for 30 seconds, then rest. Repeat for 2-3 sets.
