1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, arms bent with fists up near your chin level, as if you're in a boxing stance.
2. Lift your right knee up towards your chest while simultaneously extending your left arm out in a punch motion.
3. Retract your left arm and lower your right leg back to the starting stance.
4. Quickly switch sides by lifting your left knee up towards your chest and throwing a punch with your right arm.
5. Repeat this alternating punching and knee-lift motion in a controlled yet rhythmic manner. Ensure you're engaging your core throughout the exercise to maintain balance and stability.
6. Continue the exercise for a set duration or number of repetitions, typically aiming for 30 seconds to 1 minute or 20-30 repetitions per side.
7. Keep your movements fluid and your breathing steady, exhaling during the punch and knee lift.
8. As you get more comfortable with the movement, increase the speed to intensify the cardio aspect of the exercise.
The Standing Air Bike Punch is a dynamic exercise that effectively raises your heart rate while engaging multiple muscle groups, improving cardiovascular endurance, coordination, and core stability.
