Instructions
1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your knees slightly bent. Keep your weight on the balls of your feet.
2. Raise your fists to chest level and assume a defensive boxing stance by tucking in your chin slightly and keeping your elbows close to your body.
3. With your core engaged and hips squared, extend your right arm straight out in a punching motion, rotating the fist so the palm is facing downward at the end of your punch.
4. As you retract your right arm back to the starting position, simultaneously extend your left arm in a punching motion. Keep your punches controlled and powerful.
5. Alternate between right and left punches while maintaining your balance and stance. Keep breathing evenly throughout the exercise.
6. Continue alternating punches for the desired duration or number of repetitions, all the while maintaining form and speed.
Please note that this exercise can be performed at different intensities depending on your fitness level and objectives. It can be included in a cardio regimen, as part of boxing training, or as a dynamic movement during a warm-up.
