Instructions
Start by standing with your feet hip-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand at your sides.
Begin by stepping back with your right leg, crossing it behind your left leg as if performing a curtsey. Simultaneously, raise your left arm out to the side to perform a lateral raise, keeping a slight bend in your elbow and lifting the dumbbell to shoulder height.
As you lower your left arm, bring your right leg back to the starting position.
Repeat the same movement, this time stepping back with your left leg and raising your right arm to the side.
Continue to alternate sides for the desired number of repetitions while maintaining proper form and controlled movements.
Key Points: Keep your core engaged throughout the exercise to maintain stability and balance. Adjust the weight of the dumbbells to match your fitness level, ensuring that you can complete the movements with proper form.
