Starting position

  1. Look straight ahead and slightly tuck your chin.
  2. Keep your torso upright and inhale deeply through your nose.
  3. March lightly in place to release tension in your body.

Movement

  2. Look far ahead and move forward at a steady pace.
  3. Swing your arms naturally back and forth as you move forward.

Breathing

Inhale deeply through your nose and exhale comfortably through your mouth.

Trainer tips

  • Land your feet directly under your body
  • Relax your shoulders and swing your arms
  • Breathe evenly in time with your rhythm

Cautions

  • It can strain your knee joints, so land softly.
  • Sudden changes in speed cause ankle injuries, so stop gradually.
  • Landing the feet too far in front of the body
  • Going all out from the start

If you feel pain during the exercise, stop. If it continues, talk to a professional.
