Make it your movement

Soften the knees and hinge a little at the hips without snapping the neck. No ball, jumping, or head impact; skip if it causes dizziness or discomfort.

Choose by comfort and ability, not age alone. Clear your space and start slowly. Stop for pain, dizziness, or chest discomfort; seek urgent medical help for chest pain or severe symptoms. Ask a qualified professional about injuries or health concerns. Illustrations are not a substitute for individual form assessment.
