- Keep your arms relaxed at your sides.

2. Movement Begin:
- Lift your right knee towards your chest while raising your left arm overhead.
- Engage your core and maintain a straight back.

3. Twist:
- As you bring your right knee up, gently twist your torso to the left, reaching your left arm higher towards the sky.
- Visualize bringing your knee and elbow together while maintaining balance.

4. Return:
- Lower your right leg back to the starting position and lower your left arm simultaneously.
- Bring your body back to the neutral standing position.

5. Repeat on the Other Side:
- Lift your left knee towards your chest while raising your right arm overhead.
- Twist your torso to the right this time, reaching your right arm up.

6. Continue Alternating:
- Perform the movement alternately between your left and right sides.
- Keep a steady pace, focusing on form and control.

7. Breathing:
- Inhale as you raise your arm and knee, and exhale as you return to the starting position.

8. Repetitions:
- Aim for 10-15 repetitions on each side, or continue for 30 seconds to 1 minute, depending on your fitness level.

Tips:
- Keep your core engaged throughout the exercise to maintain balance.
- Try to keep your movements fluid and controlled to avoid injury.
- If it's too challenging, slow down your pace or perform the movement without the twist.
