    • Position your hands around shoulder-width apart and palms facing each other.

  2. Body Positioning:

    • Keep your back straight and engage your core to maintain stability.

    • Look straight ahead to keep your neck in a neutral position.

  3. Movement:

    • Start by raising one arm (either right or left) to create a wave in the rope while keeping the other arm down.

  7. Finishing:

    • After completing the exercise, safely drop the ropes and maintain your kneeling position for a moment to regain your balance before standing up.
