4. Quickly hop onto your right foot and sweep your left foot out to the side in a similar motion.
5. Continue hopping from one foot to the other in a pendulum-like motion, with each leg swinging outward.
6. Keep your core engaged and your upper body as still as possible to prevent unnecessary rotation or leaning.
