Side-Step Oblique Twist

Positioning:

1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.

2. Keep your knees slightly bent and your arms bent at 90 degrees.

3. Engage your core muscles by pulling your belly button in towards your spine.

Movement Instructions:

1. Start by shifting your weight to one side (left or right).

2. Initiate the movement by stepping to the side with your foot while keeping your knees bent and your upper body upright.

3. As you shuffle to the side, twist your torso towards the opposite side, bringing your arms across your body.

4. Quickly shuffle back to the starting position and repeat on the other side.

5. Maintain a low and athletic position throughout the exercise, pushing off with your toes to gain speed.

6. Continue alternating sides for the desired number of repetitions or time.

Important Tips:

• Keep your movements quick and controlled to avoid injury.

• Focus on using your core to stabilize your body during the twist.

• Make sure to breathe regularly, exhaling during the twists to engage your core more effectively.

• Start slowly to master the movement before increasing speed.
