How to do it
Hold your fists in front of your body and step to the side into a small squat.
Accompany the step with a short fist movement, then switch sides.
About Fist Side Step
Fist Side Step uses a side step into a small squat with a short fist action. It pairs lateral foot placement with a compact upper-body movement rather than a forceful punch.
What to focus on
- Keep the fist motion short and controlled.
- Return from the bend before changing sides.
Make the movement smaller
Use a small side step and a shallow bend with hands near the chest.
A mistake to watch for
Making the arm action larger than the stance can support. Reduce the fist movement.
Practice time and pacing
The app assigns 30 seconds to Fist Side 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 3 of the Standing Easy 30-Day Plan. The day count below follows the extended version; shorter days can use fewer movements.
