Stepback with Prayer Push

Positioning:
1. Stand upright with your feet hip-width apart.
2. Bring your palms together in front of your chest in a prayer position.
3. Engage your core and maintain a straight posture throughout the exercise.

Movement Instructions:
1. Take a step back with your right foot, lowering your body into a lunge position. Ensure that your left knee stays directly above your left ankle.
2. As you step back, extend your arms upward with palms still together, creating a slight arch in your back.
3. Hold the lunge position for a moment, feeling the stretch in your legs and arms.
4. Push through your left heel to return to the starting position, bringing your arms back to your chest in prayer position.
5. Repeat the movement, this time stepping back with your left foot.
6. Continue alternating sides for a total of 8-12 repetitions on each leg.

Tips:
- Keep your core engaged to stabilize your body during the movement.
- Ensure your front knee does not extend past your toes while lunging.
- Focus on controlled movements to maximize effectiveness and prevent injury.
