Forward Side-Step Peterson

Starting Position:

• Stand tall with your feet together.

• Engage your core by tightening your abdominal muscles.

• Keep your shoulders back and chest open.

Movement:

• Take a small step forward with your right foot, keeping it flat on the ground.

• As your right foot lands, simultaneously lift your left foot off the ground, bringing it forward to meet your right foot.

• Ensure that your knees do not buckle inward; keep them aligned over your feet.

• Return to the starting position by stepping back with your left foot and bringing it next to your right foot.

Side Step Variation:

• After repeating the forward step, now shift your weight to your right foot and take a step sideways with your left foot.

• Again, bring your right foot to meet your left foot.

• Keep your body upright and your movements controlled.

Repetitions:

• Perform 10-15 repetitions for a few sets.

• Alternate between the forward and side steps for a complete workout.

Tips:

• Focus on maintaining balance throughout the exercise.

• Keep a steady pace to improve coordination and strength.

• Avoid leaning forward or backward; stay straight and centered.

Cool Down:

• Once completed, gently stretch your legs and hips to prevent tightness.
