Instructions

1. Starting Position:
- Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart.
- If using a resistance band, hold one end in each hand at chest level, with your elbows bent and your hands in line with your shoulders.

2. Engage Your Core:
- Tighten your abdominal muscles to stabilize your torso.

3. Step to the Side:
- Take a step to the right with your right foot, keeping your left foot in place.
- As you step, bend your knees slightly to lower your body into a mini squat.

4. Perform the Row:
- While stepping to the right, pull the resistance band or your hands towards your chest, squeezing your shoulder blades together.
- Keep your elbows close to your body and your wrists straight.

5. Return to Starting Position:
- Step back to the starting position and lower your hands back to chest level or release the tension in the resistance band.

6. Repeat to the Other Side:
- Now step to the left with your left foot, bending your knees slightly.
- Again, pull the resistance band or your hands towards your chest as you step.

7. Continue:
- Alternate steps to the right and left for a set duration (e.g., 30 seconds to 1 minute) or a specific number of repetitions (e.g., 10-15 on each side).

8. Cool Down:
- After completing your sets, take a moment to stretch your arms and legs to relax your muscles.
