Open-Elbow Side-Walk

1. Starting Position:

   • Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart.

   • Keep your arms bent at a 90-degree angle, with your elbows close to your body and your hands in front of you at chest height.

2. Movement:

   • Begin by stepping sideways to your right with your right foot.

   • As you step, rotate your upper body towards the right while opening your arms wide to the sides, maintaining your elbow bend. Your palms should face forward.

3. Transition:

   • Immediately bring your left foot to join the right foot, returning to the starting position.

   • Instead of resting, step to the left with your left foot, repeating the arm and upper body rotation to the left side.

4. Continue Movement:

   • Alternate stepping to the right and left.

   • Aim for a fluid motion, keeping your core engaged and maintaining control throughout the exercise.

5. Repetitions:

   • Perform the side walk for 30 seconds, focusing on maintaining a steady pace.

   • Rest briefly and repeat for 2-3 sets.

Tips for Beginners:

• Start slowly to master the movement before increasing speed.

• Ensure your movements are controlled to prevent any loss of balance.

• Keep your knees slightly bent to absorb impact and reduce strain.
