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.

8–10 reps

Breath — Inhale to stand tall · Exhale to lift the knee

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? →
