  2. 02Set your feet shoulder width apart, bend your knees slightly, and brace your trunk.
  3. 03Raise your right hand as your left hand lowers, then reverse the arms immediately.
  4. 04Continue alternating rapidly to send even waves all the way to the anchor while your torso stays steady.
  5. 05Maintain the rhythm for the prescribed time, then slow the waves before placing the ropes down.
