Low-impact cardio
Low-impact movement in short bouts
Time or repetitions. Two or three short bouts instead of one long session.
- Walk or march for a short bout.
- Rest.
- Repeat once if you feel well.
Beginner change. One bout is enough.
Another way. Seated marching, with feet lifting only as high as is comfortable.
Safety. Skip extra bouts if you feel unwell. Urgent symptoms need a clinician or emergency services, not another bout.
Established public guidance. CDC says activity does not have to be done all at once. Seated marching is a lifeZoi modification for access, not a separate CDC protocol.
