The Standing March exercise is a cardiovascular move that targets the lower body muscles, specifically the quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes. It also helps improve balance and coordination.
How to perform
To perform the Standing March exercise, follow these step-by-step instructions:1. Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart and your arms by your sides.
2. Engage your core muscles to maintain good posture throughout the exercise.
3. Lift one knee up towards your chest, bringing it as high as you comfortably can.
4. Lower the lifted leg back down to the starting position and repeat the movement with the other leg.
5. Keep alternating legs in a marching motion, making sure to lift your knees high and maintain a steady pace.
6. Continue marching for 1-2 minutes, or for as long as you can maintain proper form and control.
To increase the intensity of the Standing March exercise, you can add resistance by holding dumbbells or ankle weights, or increase the speed of the marching motion. Remember to always listen to your body and stop if you experience any pain or discomfort.
