Forward Side-Step Peterson

1. Starting Position:
- Stand tall with your feet together.
- Engage your core by tightening your abdominal muscles.
- Keep your shoulders back and chest open.

2. Movement:
- Take a small step forward with your right foot, keeping it flat on the ground.
- As your right foot lands, simultaneously lift your left foot off the ground, bringing it forward to meet your right foot.
- Ensure that your knees do not buckle inward; keep them aligned over your feet.
- Return to the starting position by stepping back with your left foot and bringing it next to your right foot.

3. Side Step Variation:
- After repeating the forward step, now shift your weight to your right foot and take a step sideways with your left foot.
- Again, bring your right foot to meet your left foot.
- Keep your body upright and your movements controlled.

4. Repetitions:
- Perform 10-15 repetitions for a few sets.
- Alternate between the forward and side steps for a complete workout.

5. Tips:
- Focus on maintaining balance throughout the exercise.
- Keep a steady pace to improve coordination and strength.
- Avoid leaning forward or backward; stay straight and centered.

6. Cool Down:
- Once completed, gently stretch your legs and hips to prevent tightness.
