Instructions
1. Start by standing with feet shoulder-width apart, arms raised in front of you at shoulder level with elbows bent and palms facing each other.
2. Begin the exercise by performing a squat: push your hips back and bend your knees to lower your body.
3. As you squat down, keep your arms in front of you with palms facing in.
4. Once you reach the bottom of the squat, press your arms down towards your hips, making sure to engage your triceps.
5. As you start to rise from the squat, twist your torso to the right, extending your left arm forward and your right arm back, engaging your oblique muscles.
6. Return to the squat position with arms back in front of you.
7. Rise back to the starting position, and then repeat the twist on the opposite side for the next repetition.
8. Continue alternating twists with each squat for the desired number of reps.
Ensure proper form to avoid injury and target the appropriate muscle groups. Warm-up before starting the routine and cool down afterward. If you're new to this exercise, you may want to start with fewer reps or sets to avoid overexertion.
