1. Begin by standing with your feet hip-width apart and your arms raised at chest level with your elbows bent, fists near your shoulders.
2. Perform a side step to the left, moving your left foot to the side followed by your right foot (or vice versa if moving to the right). As you do this, raise one arm diagonally up to the top (as if stretching above your head) while punching forward with the other arm.
3. Maintain a strong core and ensure that you are moving your legs laterally in a quick but controlled manner. The punching arm should be fully extended while the other arm reaches high, keeping both motions synchronized with the side step movement.
4. Return to the starting position by bringing your feet back to hip-width apart and your fists near your shoulders.
5. Alternate the side step to the other direction while performing the punch and top reach with the opposite arms.
6. Continue doing this motion, alternating left and right side steps, along with alternating arm movements for the desired sets and repetitions or time duration.
7. Maintain a steady pace and ensure you breathe evenly throughout the exercise.
