How to do it

Bend your elbows and lift one knee, then the other, as if you're marching in place.
Swing your arms naturally if it feels comfortable, helping build coordination while gently raising your heart rate.

About Seated March

Seated March alternates knee lifts while you sit in a chair. The arms can swing naturally if comfortable. The coordination task is to alternate the legs without rocking the torso to lift them.

What to focus on

Set one foot down before lifting the other.
Keep a steady, comfortable rhythm before adding an arm swing.

Make the movement smaller

Lift the feet a small distance, keep the arms still, and pause between steps if needed.

A mistake to watch for

Leaning back to lift each knee higher. Use a lower lift and maintain a steady seated posture.

Practice time and pacing

The app assigns 30 seconds to Seated March. 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.
