SHIFT Fit
Low impact march
Low impact march: written movement steps, equipment and example doses. General information to help you choose an appropriate starting point.
How to do it
- Stand tall and march on the spot, lifting each foot comfortably and letting the opposite arm swing. Keep it light and rhythmic — this is movement, not a military parade.
- Keep it controlled enough that you could stop the rep cleanly at any point.
Equipment
- none
