Instructions
1. Start in a neutral standing position with your feet shoulder-width apart and your arms at your sides, as shown in the first image.
2. Begin by stepping out to your right side, entering into a partial squat position as you reach out with your left hand as if to grab something in front of you. Ensure that your right leg is bent at the knee and hip, and your left leg is straight, and the left arm is fully extended, as illustrated in the second image.
3. Push off with your right leg to return to the neutral starting position, bringing your left arm back to your side.
4. Step out to your left side next, entering into a partial squat with your left leg while reaching out with your right hand in the same manner. Mirror the movement seen in the third image.
5. Push off with your left leg to return to the starting position once again.
6. Continue to alternate sides for the desired number of repetitions or for a set period, maintaining a rhythmic and controlled speed throughout the exercise.
This exercise can help improve lateral movement, coordination, and lower body strength, and it also provides a light cardiovascular workout when performed at a faster pace.
