- Ensure your knees are at a 90-degree angle and your arms are relaxed at your sides.

2. Starting Position:
- Raise both arms in front of you to shoulder height with palms facing forward.
- Keep your elbows slightly bent and ensure your shoulders are relaxed, away from your ears.

3. Movement - Palm Push:
- While maintaining the arm position, push your palms forward as if you are pushing against an invisible wall.
- Hold this push for a count of two.
- Return to the starting position with your arms in front of you.

4. Movement - Marching:
- While performing the palm push, lift your right knee towards your chest as high as is comfortable.
- Hold this position briefly, then lower your right leg back to the starting position.
- Alternate by lifting your left knee towards your chest and repeating the process.

5. Repetition:
- Continue alternating the palm push with marching for 10 to 15 repetitions on each leg.
- Try to maintain a steady pace, focusing on your balance and core stability.

6. Cooling Down:
- After completing the exercise, lower your arms and take a few deep breaths.
- Shake out your legs and arms gently to relax your muscles.

Tips:
