Lift your elbows out and up while extending one leg to tap the heel on the ground, then lower and switch sides in a smooth, alternating rhythm.
Keep your core engaged and your spine tall to avoid strain on your lower back.

About Chair Boxer Kicks

Chair Boxer Kicks pairs lifted elbows with an alternating heel tap. Extend one leg, place its heel gently on the floor, and bring the foot back before changing sides. Keep the reach close enough that the back stays upright on the chair.

What to focus on

Place the heel gently rather than kicking outward sharply.
Keep the torso tall as the elbows lift.

Make the movement smaller

Tap the heel close to the chair and keep the elbows lower.

A mistake to watch for

Leaning back to extend the leg farther. Shorten the heel reach and keep the seated position steady.

Practice time and pacing

The app assigns 30 seconds to Chair Boxer Kicks. Use that as a time block, with pauses whenever you need them. Move at the demonstration’s controlled pace; the timer is not a repetition target. Watch the full movement once before following along.

Set a firm chair on a nonslip surface and leave room for the arm and leg movements shown. A chair without wheels keeps the setup steady.
