LATERAL STEP PULL INSTRUCTIONS

1. Start with your feet a little wider than shoulder-width apart and bring both hands above your head.
2. Take a big step back with your left leg, crossing it to the right, bend the front knee and pull your arms back.
3. Return to the starting position and repeat on the opposite side.

PROPER FORM AND BREATHING PATTERN

Keep a steady pace, engage your core muscles, and breathe in as you bring both hands together above your head. Maintain your upper body nice and tall, face front, and keep your back straight. Breathe out as you pull your arms back, and keep your toes pointing in the same direction as the knees.
