MOVEMENT GUIDE / CLEAR FLOOR
Low-impact step jacks
Step one foot to the side as arms rise, return and alternate sides without jumping.
Target muscles
Heart, lungs and working leg muscles
Setup
Choose a safe route or adjust the machine, begin with 5–8 easy minutes, and pick an effort that matches your experience.
Perform the move
Step one foot to the side as arms rise, return and alternate sides without jumping. Ease down for about five minutes. Record duration and effort; increase one variable at a time and allow recovery between hard sessions.
Why use it?
Build repeatable hard-effort capacity and cardiorespiratory fitness. Intervals are one option alongside steady aerobic work; they are not uniquely superior for fat loss.
Common mistake
Rushing without room to move.
Alternative
Marching in place
