Instructions
1. Begin by sitting on a sturdy chair with your feet flat on the floor and spaced apart at about hip-width.
2. Lean slightly to one side and lift your arm on the same side straight up towards the ceiling, creating a straight line from your seated hip through to the fingertips.
3. Shift your weight to the opposite buttock and step the same side leg out to the side while keeping the other foot in place.
4. Hold this side step position briefly, ensuring your core is engaged and your back is straight.
5. Return your lifted leg to the starting position and lower your arm.
6. Repeat the side step for the desired number of repetitions before switching sides.
Remember to breathe regularly throughout the exercise, maintain good posture, and perform each movement with control to maximize benefits and reduce the risk of injury.
