1. Stand with your feet flat on the floor. Separate your legs and feet at hips length.

2. Bend your elbows at the waist. Extend your forearms and hands forward. Make fists with both hands.

3. Step forward with your right leg. Pull your hands together. Lower them until they create a "V" in front of your body.

4. Lift your hands up. Cross your arms over your chest to make an "X" in front of your body. Keep your hands clenched in fists.
