March in Place
Why this one

A minute of marching pumps blood through legs that have been still for hours, lifting circulation and energy after long stretches of sitting.

How to do it

March in place for about a minute, lifting your knees toward your waist and letting your arms swing, to move blood through the legs after sitting.

Keep in mind

Easy rhythm — just get the blood moving.

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? →
