| Standing marches are simple but highly effective. The high steps contribute to core strengthening and postural stabilization and provide subtle movements throughout the spinal cord that help combat stiffness.
Step 1: Stand with your arms by your sides and your feet shoulder-width apart.
Step 2: March in place, bringing your knees up as high as you can. Move slowly, taking 1 to 2 seconds to complete each step while focusing on movement accuracy.
Step 3: Perform this exercise for 2 minutes per set and attempt 3 sets, making modifications as needed.
This exercise can be slowed down considerably to accommodate for rigidity and bradykinesia (slowness of movement). |
