Marching on Spot
March on the spot, lifting each knee to about hip height with the opposite arm swinging; a low-impact warm-up.
How to do it
Setup
Standing tall, feet hip-width, elbows bent at the sides.
Steps
- Lift one knee toward hip height as the opposite arm swings forward.
- Set the foot down softly and lift the other knee.
- Keep a steady marching rhythm, chest tall.
Common mistakes
Leaning back to lift the knees: stay tall. Stomping: place each foot down softly. Arms hanging still: swing them in opposition.
Breathing
Steady with the steps.
