Standing Wide-Stance Punch

Starting Position:

• Stand upright with your feet wider than shoulder-width apart. Ensure your toes are pointing slightly outward.

• Keep your back straight and engage your core.

• Position your fists at shoulder level with your elbows bent, ready to punch.

Movement:

• As you exhale, punch your right arm forward while simultaneously shifting your weight onto your right leg. Your left foot should remain planted as a pivot point.

• Rotate your torso slightly to the right as your right arm extends fully in front of you. Ensure your fist is parallel to the ground.

• Hold the punch for a moment to engage your muscles.

Return:

• Inhale as you retract your right arm back to the starting position, bringing your elbow back to your side.

• Shift your weight back to the center, preparing for the next movement.

Repetition:

• Repeat the punching motion with your left arm, shifting your weight onto your left leg and rotating your torso slightly to the left.

• Continue alternating punches for a set period or number of repetitions, maintaining a steady rhythm.

Tips:

• Keep your core engaged throughout the exercise to maintain balance.

• Ensure your movements are controlled rather than rushed to avoid injury.

• Focus on proper form over speed, especially as a beginner.
