3. Lower your arm to the starting position and repeat with the left arm.
Proper Form And Breathing Pattern
Engage your core, keep your head and neck relaxed, and maintain your lower back pressed against the floor. Keep your chin off your chest, look up, and exhale as you lift your shoulder off the floor and punch. Don’t extend your arm completely and breathe in as you slowly return to the initial position.
