3. Turn anti-clockwise 180* (right leg moves up to middle, pivot 180* and then left leg moves back).

Do this sequence 4 times to end up where you started each time adding a different hand movement:

• Second time: pushing single hand

• Third time: circular hands

• Fourth time: sword movement

Don’t forget to also do this drill starting with the right foot back (mirror image).
