    How to: Standing Archer

    1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.
    2. Extend one arm forward as if drawing a bow, while pulling the other arm back.
    3. Hold the position briefly before switching arms.

    Common Mistakes

    • Not engaging the core which can lead to instability.
    • Using excessive momentum instead of controlled movements.

    Modifications

    • Perform the movement at a slower pace.
    • Start with a smaller range of motion if flexibility is limited.

    Tips

    • Engage your core to maintain balance during the exercise.
    • Focus on form rather than speed to maximize effectiveness.
