Starting Position:
Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart.
Raise your arms overhead, palms together in a prayer position.
Knee Lift:
Engage your core and, while keeping your arms raised, lift your right knee towards your chest.
As you lift your knee, balance on your left foot.
Movement:
With your knee raised, lower your arms simultaneously towards your chest while keeping the palms together.
As you do this, lean slightly back to maintain balance.
Thrust:
Quickly push your arms back up to the starting position as you lower your right leg back down to the ground.
Switch legs, lifting your left knee while repeating the arm movement.
Repetition:
Continue alternating legs, performing the knee lift and arm movements in a rhythmic manner.
Aim for 10-15 repetitions on each leg.
Breathing:
Inhale as you lift your knee and lower your arms.
Exhale as you thrust your arms back up and lower your knee.
Tips for Beginners:
Start slowly to get the hang of the movement before speeding up.
Focus on maintaining your balance and posture throughout the exercise.
If necessary, perform the movement without raising your arms at first or stay closer to a wall for support until comfortable.
