Side-Step Arm Pulse

1. Start in a standing position with your feet together and arms by your sides.

2. Step to the side with your right foot, entering into a slight squat position as you bring your arms in front of you at shoulder height, keeping them straight.

3. While maintaining this position, pulse your arms by moving them a few inches out and back in rapidly, engaging your shoulder muscles.

4. Continue pulsing your arms as you step your left foot in to meet your right, bringing your arms back down by your sides.

5. Immediately step to the left side, and repeat the arm pulse movement, this time leading with your left leg.

6. Continue alternating sides with each set of pulses, maintaining an engaged core for stability.

Tips: Keep your arms at shoulder height during the pulse to ensure maximum engagement of your shoulder muscles. Make sure you incorporate a small squat when stepping to the side to engage the lower body more effectively. Focus on controlled movements and avoid using momentum to ensure proper muscle contraction.

This exercise combines a cardiovascular element with arm and leg muscle engagement, which can help improve overall tone and fitness levels.
