Side-Bend Step-Out

1. Begin by standing straight with your feet together and your arms by your sides.

2. Step out to one side, slightly wider than hip-width apart.

3. As you step out, raise the arm on the same side above your head, while keeping the other arm down by your side.

4. Lean your torso to the side opposite of the step-out leg, engaging your oblique muscles and stretching the side of your body.

5. Keep your hips stable and avoid bending forward or backward.

6. Hold the side bend for a few seconds.

7. Return to the starting position by bringing your torso back to an upright position and lowering your arm.

8. Bring your leg back to the starting position next to your other foot.

9. Repeat the exercise on the opposite side.

10. Perform the desired number of repetitions, alternating sides each time.

Ensure you perform the movement with control and maintain proper posture throughout the exercise.
