Instructions

  1. Preparation:

    • Find a sturdy chair and sit on it with your back straight and feet flat on the floor.

    • Ensure your knees are at a 90-degree angle and your arms are relaxed at your sides.

  2. Starting Position:

    • Raise both arms in front of you to shoulder height with palms facing forward.

    • Keep your elbows slightly bent and ensure your shoulders are relaxed, away from your ears.

  3. Movement - Palm Push:

    • While maintaining the arm position, push your palms forward as if you are pushing against an invisible wall.

    • Hold this push for a count of two.

    • Return to the starting position with your arms in front of you.

  4. Movement - Marching:

    • While performing the palm push, lift your right knee towards your chest as high as is comfortable.

    • Hold this position briefly, then lower your right leg back to the starting position.

    • Alternate by lifting your left knee towards your chest and repeating the process.

  5. Repetition:

    • Continue alternating the palm push with marching for 10 to 15 repetitions on each leg.

    • Try to maintain a steady pace, focusing on your balance and core stability.

  6. Cooling Down:

    • After completing the exercise, lower your arms and take a few deep breaths.

    • Shake out your legs and arms gently to relax your muscles.

Tips:

  • Keep your movements controlled and avoid any jerky motions.

  • Engage your core throughout the exercise to maintain stability.

  • If you start to feel fatigued, take a short break before continuing.
