1. Starting Position:
- Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart.
- Engage your core by tightening your abdominal muscles.
- Hold your hands in front of you at chest height with your fists closed, palms facing downward.
2. Side Step:
- Shift your weight onto your right foot.
- Take a step to the left with your left foot, ensuring your left leg bends slightly as you move.
- Keep your right leg straight as you step.
3. Arm Movement:
- As you step to the left, extend your right arm forward, mimicking a punching motion towards the front, while pulling your left arm back as if drawing a bowstring.
- Your right fist should be at shoulder level, while your left fist should be pulled back near your shoulder.
4. Return to Starting Position:
- Bring your left foot back to the starting position, shifting your weight back onto both feet.
- Return your arms to the starting position in front of your chest.
5. Repeat Movement:
- Now shift your weight onto your left foot and step to the right with your right foot.
- Extend your left arm forward in a punching motion as you pull your right arm back.
6. Repetitions:
- Continue alternating sides, stepping left and right, while performing the arm movements for a set duration (e.g., 30 seconds) or number of repetitions (e.g., 10 on each side).
7. Breathing:
- Breathe in during the starting position and exhale as you punch forward and step side to side.
8. Tips:
- Maintain a steady pace.
- Focus on using your core to control your movements.
- Ensure you have a stable base while stepping side to side.
Make sure to perform the exercise on a flat surface to prevent any slipping or tripping hazards.
