March in Place

What you need: No equipment

How to do it

  1. Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart and your weight even.
  2. Lift one knee to a comfortable height, then set that foot down and lift the other.
  3. Swing the opposite arm with each step and keep a steady, unhurried rhythm.

Keep in mind

  • Keep a chair or wall within reach if your balance is uncertain.
  • Lift only as high as feels controlled; height is not the point.
  • Breathe normally throughout; you should still be able to talk.
  • Stop and rest if you feel dizzy or short of breath.

Move slowly and within a comfortable range. This demonstration shows the movement; it does not prescribe a workout length or number of repetitions.

A little coach humor

I have sat here a long time. Most things that pass me are much less organised.

今日居家动作:原地踏步

所需器材:无需器材

动作步骤

  1. 站直,双脚与髋同宽,重心均匀。
  2. 把一侧膝盖抬到舒适的高度,放下后再换另一侧。
  3. 每一步摆动对侧手臂,保持平稳、不急的节奏。

注意事项

  • 如果平衡感不稳,把椅子或墙放在伸手可及处。
  • 抬到能控制的高度即可,抬多高不是重点。
  • 全程正常呼吸,应该还能说话。
  • 如果头晕或气短就停下休息。

请缓慢移动,保持在舒适范围内。示范仅展示动作,不规定训练时长或次数。
