Let's begin, and happy Election Day.

Side-to-Side Floor Tap
These movements have a similar side-to-side movement pattern as the walking jacks, but instead of overhead hand movements, they include floor touches. Combining the two exercises in the same session provides a good “high/low” balance.

Step 1: Start by standing, leaving plenty of room for side-to-side movements with your feet together and your arms by your sides.
Step 2: Step to the right with your right foot, bend your right knee, and touch your right foot with your left hand.
Step 3: Come back up and step back into the starting position. Repeat the movement on your left side.
Step 4: This counts as one repetition. Try to perform three sets of 30 repetitions of this exercise and modify as needed.

While this “out, down, up, back” movement pattern may seem complicated at first, with a bit of practice, your movements can be smooth and continuous. You can intensify the exercise by accelerating the movements; just be careful not to sacrifice movement quality for speed.
