Starting Position: 1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. 2. Keep your back straight and engage your core. 3. Relax your shoulders and position your arms at your sides.
Movement Instructions: 1. Squat Down: - Lower your body into a slight squat by bending your knees. Keep your weight in your heels and your chest lifted. Your thighs should be parallel to the ground or slightly above. - As you squat, swing your arms backward to build momentum.
2. Hand Swipe: - Quickly straighten your legs and push up into a standing position while simultaneously raising your right arm above your head. - As you complete the movement, swipe your right hand diagonally across your body to the left side at shoulder height.
3. Return to Start: - Lower your arm back down and prepare for the next repetition. - You can alternate arms, raising your left arm in the next repetition and swiping to the right.
Tips: - Focus on controlled movements to avoid injury. - Keep your core engaged throughout the exercise for stability. - Adjust the depth of your squat based on your comfort level.
