Instructions
1. Begin by sitting upright on a padded stool with your feet flat on the floor and your back straight.
2. Hold your hands together close to your chest as if you were about to perform a boxing punch.
3. Engage your core and keep your chest lifted throughout the exercise.
4. Punch straight forward with one arm, extending it fully, and simultaneously lift the opposite knee towards the chest to tap the elbow of the punching arm.
5. Quickly retract your punching arm back to the starting position while also lowering the lifted knee.
6. Switch sides and repeat the punch and knee tap movement with the opposite arm and leg.
7. Continue to alternate sides with each rep, maintaining a rhythmic and controlled pace.
8. Focus on keeping your movements smooth and coordinated, and breathe out with each punch.
9. Perform the desired number of reps and sets, resting between sets as needed.
Note: It is important to maintain good posture and avoid slouching or leaning too far forwards or backwards during this exercise. The movement should come from the shoulders and the core, with the legs actively participating in the knee lifts. This exercise can help improve coordination, balance, and core strength.
