Instructions

1. Starting Position:
- Stand upright with your feet wider than shoulder-width apart. Ensure your toes are pointing slightly outward.
- Keep your back straight and engage your core.
- Position your fists at shoulder level with your elbows bent, ready to punch.

2. Movement:
- As you exhale, punch your right arm forward while simultaneously shifting your weight onto your right leg. Your left foot should remain planted as a pivot point.
- Rotate your torso slightly to the right as your right arm extends fully in front of you. Ensure your fist is parallel to the ground.
- Hold the punch for a moment to engage your muscles.

3. Return:
- Inhale as you retract your right arm back to the starting position, bringing your elbow back to your side.
- Shift your weight back to the center, preparing for the next movement.

4. Repetition:
- Repeat the punching motion with your left arm, shifting your weight onto your left leg and rotating your torso slightly to the left.
- Continue alternating punches for a set period or number of repetitions, maintaining a steady rhythm.

5. Tips:
- Keep your core engaged throughout the exercise to maintain balance.
- Ensure your movements are controlled rather than rushed to avoid injury.
- Focus on proper form over speed, especially as a beginner.
