Side-Step Shoulder Circle

Starting Position:

• Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.

• Keep your arms relaxed at your sides.

Moving to the Side:

• Step your right foot out to the side, landing softly.

• As you step, bend your knees slightly to absorb the impact.

• Keep your left foot stationary.

Creating the Circle:

• Raise your left arm to shoulder height as you step to the side.

• Begin to move your left arm in a circular motion, drawing a small circle in the air.

• Focus on maintaining a smooth and controlled movement.

Bringing it Back:

• Step your right foot back to the center while lowering your left arm.

• Repeat the side step with your left foot now stepping out to the side.

Continuing the Movement:

• Alternate between stepping to the right and left.

• Each time you step, perform the shoulder circle with the opposite arm (right arm when stepping left, left arm when stepping right).

Breathing:

• Inhale as you step out.

• Exhale as you bring your arm back down to the starting position.

Repetition:

• Continue the exercise for 1-2 minutes, focusing on form and smooth movements.

• Engage your core for stability throughout the exercise.

Cool Down:

• After finishing, take a moment to stretch your arms and legs.
