1. Start in an athletic position, with your feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent and your hips low and back.
2. Bring your arms up, so that the palms of the hands are facing the sides of your face.
3. Push your left arm out in a punching motion and then return to the starting position.
4. Push your right arm out and keep switching sides quickly.
Proper Form And Breathing Pattern
Keep your hips back, your chest up, relax your neck, and distribute your weight equally between both legs. Maintain a slow and steady breathing pattern, don’t let your knees extend beyond your toes, and don’t extend your arms completely.
