What to Focus On:
Hip flexor activation - You should feel the muscles at the front of your hips working
Knee height - Try to bring your knees up to hip level or as high as comfortable
Upright posture - Keep your chest up and shoulders back while marching
Rhythmic movement - Find a steady rhythm that feels natural and energising
