Instructions

1. Starting Position:
- Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart.
- Engage your core and keep your back straight.
- Extend your arms in front of you at shoulder height, with your elbows slightly bent.

2. Movement:
- Step back with your right foot into a lunge position, lowering your hips until your left thigh is parallel to the ground and your right knee is just above the floor.
- As you step back, pull your arms back towards your body, bending your elbows and squeezing your shoulder blades together. This mimics a rowing motion.

3. Return:
- Return to the starting position by stepping your right foot forward and straightening your arms back to shoulder height.
- Repeat the movement on the other side by stepping back with your left foot and pulling your arms back.

4. Repetitions:
- Perform 10-15 repetitions on each side, aiming for controlled and precise movements.

Tips:
- Make sure to keep your front knee aligned with your ankle during the lunge.
- Focus on maintaining balance and stability throughout the movement.
- Keep your movements smooth and avoid rushing to ensure proper form and reduce the risk of injury.
