Movement Instructions:
1. Squat Down:

As you squat, swing your arms backward to build momentum.

Return to Start:
Lower your arm back down and prepare for the next repetition.
You can alternate arms, raising your left arm in the next repetition and swiping to the right.
Tips:
Focus on controlled movements to avoid injury.
Keep your core engaged throughout the exercise for stability.
Adjust the depth of your squat based on your comfort level.
