Instructions
1. Start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart.
2. Raise one arm overhead, keeping the other arm down at your side.
3. Step back with the leg on the same side as the raised arm into a reverse lunge position.
4. Simultaneously, lean your upper body towards the side of the raised arm, engaging your obliques and stretching the side of your torso.
5. Return to the standing position by stepping the back foot forward and bringing your body upright while lowering your arm.
6. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions before switching sides.
The two side images appear to demonstrate the side bending component, engaging the obliques, while the front-facing images seem to imply the neutral starting point and the stepback motion, respectively.
