Alternating Side Punch with Leg Lift

1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and arms at your sides.

2. Shift your weight to your left foot and tighten your core to prepare for the movement.

3. As you lift your right leg sideways (abduction), keep your toe pointing forward, and avoid rotating your hip outwards.

4. Simultaneously, extend your left arm out in a punching motion to the side, keeping your elbow slightly bent to protect the joint. Ensure that the punch is controlled and that your arm is parallel to the ground.

5. Hold the position for a second or two for balance and control.

6. Bring your lifted leg back to the ground and your arm back to the starting position in a controlled manner.

7. Repeat the exercise with the opposite arm and leg (lift your left leg and punch with your right arm).

8. Continue to alternate sides for the desired number of reps and sets, focusing on balance and muscle engagement.

It is important to perform this exercise with control and stability to maximize engagement of the target muscle groups and to improve balance and coordination.
