Instructions

Alternate Leg Lift with Double Hands Crunch (Plyometric)

Starting Position:
1. Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart.
2. Raise both arms straight above your head with your palms facing inward.
3. Engage your core and keep a slight bend in the knees.

**Movement 1. Begin by lifting your right knee towards your chest while simultaneously bringing your arms down to meet the raised knee.
2. As your right knee rises, crunch down with your upper body, bringing your elbows towards the knee.
3. Ensure your back remains straight and do not round your shoulders.
4. Lower your right leg back to the starting position while raising your arms back overhead.
5. Repeat the same movement on the left side, lifting your left knee while lowering your arms to meet it.
6. Continue alternating between right and left knees, maintaining a steady pace.

Tips:
- Focus on controlling your movement to engage your core muscles effectively.
- Keep your breathing steady; exhale as you lift your knee and crunch, and inhale as you return to the starting position.
- Ensure your movements are smooth and fluid, maintaining good posture throughout the exercise.
