1. Starting Position:
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your knees slightly bent.
- Keep your torso upright and engage your core muscles.
- Place your hands together at your chest or at your sides for balance.
2. Movement:
- Step to the right with your right foot, making a wide step to the side.
- As your right foot lands, quickly bring your left foot to meet your right foot, keeping your knees bent and ready for movement.
- Immediately step to the left with your left foot, making a wide step to the side.
- Bring your right foot to meet your left foot, maintaining a slight bend in your knees.
3. Repetition:
- Continue stepping side to side in a rhythmic motion. Keep your movements quick and controlled.
- Aim to perform 10-15 repetitions of the side steps, or move side to side for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
4. Tips:
- Keep your weight distributed evenly on your feet and use your arms for additional balance by swinging them slightly as you step.
- Focus on maintaining good posture throughout the exercise.
- If you feel comfortable, you can increase the speed of your steps or add a small jump as you step to intensify the movement.
5. Cool Down:
- After completing your repetitions, slow down for a moment and walk in place to catch your breath.
- Stretch your leg muscles gently to prevent stiffness.
