How to do it
Step to the side and swing your arms crossing in front of your body.
Open your arms as you return and alternate sides.
About Cross Swing Step
Cross Swing Step adds a side step to arms crossing in front, then opens the arms on the return. Watch the relationship between the outward step and the crossing action.
What to focus on
- Place the foot before shifting fully onto it.
- Regain the starting stance before changing sides.
Make the movement smaller
Use a short side step and a low arm crossing. Practice the feet separately first.
A mistake to watch for
Swinging the arms fast enough to pull the body sideways. Reduce their momentum.
Practice time and pacing
The app assigns 30 seconds to Cross Swing Step. Use that as a time block, with pauses whenever you need them. Move at the demonstration’s controlled pace; the timer is not a repetition target. Watch the full movement once before following along.
Where you will practice it
It first appears on day 2 of the Standing Easy 30-Day Plan. The day count below follows the extended version; shorter days can use fewer movements.
