The Elephant Walk is a balance and mobility exercise that engages the core, legs, and hips while improving coordination and stability. Step your right foot forward and hinge at the hips, reaching your left hand toward your right knee as your left leg lifts slightly behind you. Keep your core engaged and move only as far as you can maintain balance. Return to standing, bringing your hand and foot back to the starting position, then repeat on the other side. This exercise enhances balance, control, and functional movement through the hips and core.
