How to do it

  1. Step 1

    Sit tall without leaning back, hands resting on the seat.

  2. Step 2

    Lift one knee, lower it, then the other, at a steady pace.

Good to know

  • Aim for an effort where you can still talk in short sentences. If you can’t, slow down or rest — that’s the right call, not a setback.
  • Use a sturdy chair without wheels, with its back against a wall so it can’t slide.

Safety

Stop right away and sit down if you feel dizzy, unusually short of breath, or any chest discomfort, and contact your physician. Stop if you feel pain beyond normal effort; consult your physician before starting a new exercise routine.
