Instructions

  1. Starting Position:

    • Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart.

    • If using a resistance band, hold one end in each hand at chest level, with your elbows bent and your hands in line with your shoulders.

  2. Engage Your Core:

    • Tighten your abdominal muscles to stabilize your torso.

  3. Step to the Side:

    • Take a step to the right with your right foot, keeping your left foot in place.

    • As you step, bend your knees slightly to lower your body into a mini squat.

  4. Perform the Row:

    • While stepping to the right, pull the resistance band or your hands towards your chest, squeezing your shoulder blades together.

    • Keep your elbows close to your body and your wrists straight.

  5. Return to Starting Position:

    • Step back to the starting position and lower your hands back to chest level or release the tension in the resistance band.

  6. Repeat to the Other Side:

    • Now step to the left with your left foot, bending your knees slightly.

    • Again, pull the resistance band or your hands towards your chest as you step.

  7. Continue:

    • Alternate steps to the right and left for a set duration (e.g., 30 seconds to 1 minute) or a specific number of repetitions (e.g., 10-15 on each side).

  8. Cool Down:

    • After completing your sets, take a moment to stretch your arms and legs to relax your muscles.
