Instructions

1. Start in a standing position with your feet shoulder-width apart.

2. Keep your hands up in front of your chest with your elbows bent.

3. Perform a side step with your right foot to the right side, and simultaneously extend your left arm in a diagonal punch across your body towards the upper right side.

4. Bring your left arm back to the starting position and step your right foot back to center.

5. Immediately perform a side step with your left foot to the left side, and extend your right arm in a diagonal punch across your body towards the upper left side.

6. Bring your right arm back to the starting position and step your left foot back to center.

7. This completes one repetition.

8. Continue to side step and punch diagonally, alternating sides for the desired number of repetitions or for a set amount of time.

Tips: Keep your abs engaged throughout the exercise to maintain core stability. Maintain a smooth and controlled movement, focusing on the diagonal direction of the punches. Breathe steadily, exhaling on the punch and inhaling as you return to the starting position. Adjust the speed and intensity to match your fitness level and goals. Ensure you have adequate space around you to perform the side steps without any obstructions.
