Instructions
Begin in a standing position with your feet shoulder-width apart and your hands in a guard position near your chin, as if you are preparing to box.
Step forward with one foot into a lunge. As you lower your body, ensure your front knee does not extend past your toes and your back knee hovers just above the ground.
As you lunge, extend one arm forward in a punching motion, ensuring you engage your shoulder and chest muscles.
Return your punching hand to the guard position as you push off with your front foot to return to the starting position.
Repeat the movement with the opposite leg and alternate the punching arm to maintain balance in the exercise.
Continue to alternate between legs and arms for the desired number of repetitions or duration.
Keep your upper body straight and avoid leaning too far forward or back.
Engage your core throughout the movement to help with balance and power.
Perform the punches with controlled movements to work your upper body muscles effectively.
Breathe out as you punch and breathe in as you return to the starting position.
