Starting Position:

  1. Stand upright on a flat, stable surface.

  2. Keep your feet shoulder-width apart for balance.

  3. Relax your arms at your sides and engage your core.

Movement Instructions:

1. Upper Body - Shoulders, Chest, Arms:

  • Raise both arms above your head, reaching towards the ceiling.

  • Hold for a moment, then lower your arms back to your sides.

2. Core:

  • Stand tall and tighten your abdominal muscles as if you're bracing for a light punch.

  • Hold this engagement while completing the movement.

  1. Lower Body - Legs and Glutes:

    • Shift your weight slightly to one leg and raise the other knee towards your chest.

    • Return your foot to the ground and repeat on the other side.

    • Continue alternating legs for a set number of repetitions (e.g., 10-15 per leg).

  2. Complete Cycle:

    • After completing the leg raises, repeat the upper body movements again.

    • Focus on controlled movements and maintaining good posture throughout.

Breathing:

  • Inhale deeply as you lift your arms and engage your core.

  • Exhale as you lower your arms or shift your weight between legs.

Tips for Success:

  • Keep your movements slow and controlled to maintain balance and engage your muscles effectively.

  • If needed, use a wall or a sturdy object for support while performing leg raises.

  • Always listen to your body and rest if you feel fatigued.

Cool Down:

  • After finishing the exercise, take a moment to stretch your arms, legs, and core gently to help with recovery.
