Instructions
1. Starting Position:
- Stand tall with your feet shoulder-width apart.
- Keep your arms relaxed at your sides.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
