# Archer Stepback

Stand tall with your back straight and feet shoulder-width apart.

## How to do it

1. Stand tall with your back straight and feet shoulder-width apart.
2. Extend your arms forward while keeping your palms inward.
3. Take a step backward by extending your left leg behind you while taking your elbow past your back like an archer.
4. Hold for a while, return to the initial position, and repeat by taking your right leg backward.

## Form tips

- Engage your core to maintain balance and stability throughout the exercise.
- Ensure your front knee is aligned with your ankle and does not extend past your toes to avoid strain on your knee joint.
- Perform the movement with controlled motions to maximize muscle activation and prevent injury.
