How to perform it

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 01Hug the dead ball high against your chest, stand tall, and clear enough space to march safely.
  2. 02Brace firmly to resist the ball's uneven shape and keep your ribs stacked over your pelvis.
  3. 03Lift one knee to a controlled marching height while balancing on the opposite foot.
  4. 04Place the foot down softly and repeat with the other leg without letting the ball slide or your torso sway.
  5. 05Continue in place or forward for the assigned time or steps, then lower the ball safely.
