Hey, I've spent some hours on this animation and would like to get some feedback.
Let me know what you think and how should I improve.

Why are his knees compressing like that?
His legs should move with a bob like that, not just the knees up. Study some idle animations from street fighter, they'll lead you on the right track.

Thanks for the reply. I'll spend some more hours trying to fix it.
I'm pretty busy with job and stuff so I don't have time right now to edit it.

I've made his leg move. Hope it looks better now.

It's still strange.
Consider you doing the same idle stance.
Stand up and try to do the same movement, it's very strange '-'

I made a quick edit using photoshop tools and I think an Idle animation would be better like this:

Of course it's only an example to comparison, but it's somethingl like that.

Edit:

Look, I found an example of what I'm trying to show:
