Side-Step Curtsey

Starting Position:

• Stand with your feet hip-width apart and your arms relaxed at your sides.

• Keep your chest up, shoulders back, and engage your core.

Curtsey Motion:

• Step your right foot back diagonally behind you into a curtsey lunge.

• Bend both knees, lowering your body toward the ground while keeping your left knee over your left ankle.

• Make sure your right knee doesn't touch the ground.

Return to Start:

• Push through your left heel to return to the starting position.

• Bring your right foot back to hip-width apart.

Side Step:

• Take a step to the right with your right foot, shifting your weight onto that leg.

• Keep your left foot close and engage your core as you shift.

Repeat:

• Alternate between the curtsey lunge and the side step for a designated period (e.g., 30 seconds) or a set number of repetitions (e.g., 10 on each side).

Breathing:

• Inhale as you lunge, and exhale when you return to the starting position.

Final Tips:

• Maintain good posture throughout the exercise.

• Move at a controlled pace, especially when landing from the curtsey lunge to avoid injury.
