Instructions
Starting Position:
Stand tall with your feet shoulder-width apart.
Keep your arms relaxed at your sides.
Walking Side:
Step to the right side with your right foot, bringing your left foot to meet it.
As you step, bend your knees slightly and lower your body into a mini squat.
Rotate your arms out to the sides and slightly upwards as you move to the side.
Sky Reach:
After stepping to the side, lift your arms straight up towards the ceiling (or sky).
Stand tall on your toes if you want to engage your calves further.
Hold this position for a moment, engaging your core.
Return:
Step back to the starting position by bringing your right foot back to meet your left.
Lower your arms back down to your sides as you return.
Repeat:
Alternate sides by stepping to the left. Repeat the same movement sequence, stepping to the left, reaching up, and returning to the starting position.
Aim to perform 8-12 repetitions on each side.
Tips:
Maintain good posture throughout the exercise, keeping your back straight and core engaged.
Control your movements to avoid landing too hard when stepping back to the center.
Feel free to incorporate light bouncing or a light jog between each side for added cardio intensity.
This exercise helps improve strength, balance, and coordination while engaging multiple muscle groups.
