- 1Minute 1: walk slowly, with short steps and relaxed arms.
- 2Minutes 2 to 3: use the Basic Walk. Pause whenever needed.
- 3Minute 4: check that you can speak a full sentence comfortably. Reduce the pace if you cannot.

Practice Duration
Five minutes total, including pauses and finishing.
Breathing Cue
Natural breathing. No four/six count is required while walking.
Supported & Seated Variation (Path A)
Walk along a counter. Choose Exercise 32 instead if walking is uncertain.
What to Notice During Practice
Finish ready to return to your day, rather than feeling drained.
Chest symptoms, dizziness, unusual breathlessness, pain, or balance changes.
Sit down safely if you feel light-headed or unsteady. There is never any reason to push through pain or discomfort.
