Instructions
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
