Instructions

  1. Starting Position:

    • Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart.

    • Engage your core and keep your back straight.

    • Extend your arms in front of you at shoulder height, with your elbows slightly bent.

  2. Movement:

    • Step back with your right foot into a lunge position, lowering your hips until your left thigh is parallel to the ground and your right knee is just above the floor.

    • As you step back, pull your arms back towards your body, bending your elbows and squeezing your shoulder blades together. This mimics a rowing motion.

    3. Return:

    • Return to the starting position by stepping your right foot forward and straightening your arms back to shoulder height.

    • Repeat the movement on the other side by stepping back with your left foot and pulling your arms back.

  3. Repetitions:

    • Perform 10-15 repetitions on each side, aiming for controlled and precise movements.

Tips:

  • Make sure to keep your front knee aligned with your ankle during the lunge.

  • Focus on maintaining balance and stability throughout the movement.

  • Keep your movements smooth and avoid rushing to ensure proper form and reduce the risk of injury.
