Starting Position:
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and arms at your sides.
Slightly bend your knees and lower your hips into a squat position. Your thighs should be parallel to the ground.
Arm Positioning:
Extend your arms out to the sides, parallel to the ground. Your palms should face down. This is your starting arm position.
Movement - Crab Walk:
Shift your weight onto your right leg and step to the right with your left foot. Keep your knees bent and continue to stay low in your squat.
Follow your left foot with your right foot, maintaining the squat position.
Continue stepping to the right for 3 to 5 steps.
Back Fly Movement:
As you reach your last step to the right, transition into the back fly.
Lift both arms backward in a controlled motion, squeezing your shoulder blades together. Your palms should still face downward.
Hold this position for a moment.
Return to Starting Position:
Lower your arms back to their original side position while bringing your feet back together.
Repeat the same movements stepping to the left.
Repetitions:
Aim for 2-3 sets of 10-15 steps in each direction, ensuring you maintain control throughout the movement.
Breathing:
Inhale when you begin the movement, and exhale as you perform the back fly.
Tips:
Keep your core engaged throughout the exercise to maintain stability.
Ensure that your movements are controlled to avoid injury.
Focus on your form rather than speed to get the most benefit from the exercise.
