How to do it
Step to the side and raise the opposite arm overhead.
Reach diagonally, then return and switch sides.
About Side Reach Overhead
Side Reach Overhead pairs a side step with the opposite arm reaching diagonally overhead. The opposite-arm relationship is the coordination detail to watch before alternating sides.
What to focus on
- Identify the reaching arm before starting each step.
- Return the foot and arm together to a steady center.
Make the movement smaller
Make the side step short and keep the diagonal reach below overhead height.
A mistake to watch for
Leaning far toward the reaching hand. Reduce the reach and keep the stepping base steady.
Practice time and pacing
The app assigns 30 seconds to Side Reach Overhead. 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
