Starting position

Stand tall, feet hip-width apart.

8–10 reps

Breath — Inhale to prepare · Exhale to execute

How to do it

Begin a slow, controlled march in place, lifting your knees only as high as comfortable. As you march, swing your arms open wide to stretch the chest, then bring them forward to cross gently. About 1 minute.

Keep in mind

Stay tall — don’t let your lower back round as you lift your knees.

Every move: lightly lift your pelvic floor — a gentle lift, never a clench — and breathe slow and full (hold the stretches for about 5 easy breaths, at least 30 seconds). New to the lift? →
