Begin the Movement:
Shift your weight to your right foot, bending your right knee slightly.

As you bring your leg back, keep your arms in front of you, parallel to the ground, for support.

Swing your right leg out to the side and your arms to the right.
Once again, push off your left foot, bringing your right leg back into the starting position.
Continuing the Movement:

Focus on maintaining balance and proper form with each swing and step back.
