Standing Push & Toe-Tap

1. Starting Position:

   • Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart.

   • Keep your arms bent at the elbows and close to your body, hands in front of you at chest level.

2. Movement:

   • Begin by slightly bending your knees and engaging your core for stability.

   • Swing your arms upward and push your body slightly upwards as you simultaneously lift your right knee toward your chest.

   • As your knee comes up, bring your right hand down to tap your right foot.

3. Return to Starting Position:

   • Lower your right leg back to the starting position while bringing your arms back down to the initial bent position.

4. Repeat on the Other Side:

   • Perform the same movement with your left knee and left hand, lifting your left knee toward your chest and tapping your left foot.

5. Repetitions:

   • Alternate between sides for a set number of repetitions, aiming for 10-15 reps on each side.

6. Breathing:

   • Inhale as you prepare and exhale when you push up and lift your knee.

7. Tips:

   • Keep your movements controlled to maintain balance.

   • Focus on engaging your core throughout the exercise to support your back.

   • Adjust the height of your knee tap according to your flexibility and comfort level.

This exercise helps to build coordination, balance, and lower body strength.
