Instructions
1. Find a smooth surface where you can simulate a sliding motion, such as a wooden floor or a surface where there is minimal friction. If you have sliders or a small towel, you can use them under your feet.
2. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, arms extended to your sides at shoulder height.
3. Engage your core muscles to stabilize your spine and pelvis.
4. Slowly slide one foot out to the side while keeping the other foot stationary. Make sure your arms remain outstretched to help maintain balance.
5. Slide your foot as far as you can while maintaining good form and keeping your hips square.
6. Pause at the furthest point for a moment, engaging your core muscles to maintain stability.
7. Slowly slide your foot back to the starting position.
8. Repeat the motion with the opposite foot.
9. Continue alternating sides for the desired number of repetitions or for a set time period.
10. Remember to keep your movements controlled, your core engaged, and your breathing steady throughout the exercise.
