Script for later recording. This is not a finished video.

1. Open. This is a 10-minute walking script for later recording. It is not a video, and it is not the same as a short balance film.
2. First piece. Walk a clear indoor path, or march in place while holding a sturdy chair. About two minutes. Then rest.
3. Second piece. Walk or march for another two minutes. Keep the steps small enough to talk in a normal voice.
4. Third piece. Another two minutes. Turn slowly. Look at the path.
5. Last piece. A final two minutes, then sit. Seated marching replaces the walk if walking is not a good fit today.
6. Close. Sit and let the breath settle. Stop for chest pain, dizziness, unusual shortness of breath, or significant pain.

Stop for chest pain, dizziness, unusual shortness of breath, or significant pain. Use a sturdy chair. Move only in a comfortable range, and use a seated option when you want one. This is not treatment, not a diagnosis, and not physical therapy. If you have a health condition, a recent surgery, an injury, or major limits on mobility, ask a qualified professional before you try these movements.
