Tips for walking
- Hold your head up. Look forward and not at the ground.
- Neck, shoulders and back are relaxed, not stiffly upright.
- Swing your arms freely with a slight bend in your elbows.
- Tighten stomach muscles slightly and straighten back, not arched forward or backward.
- Walk smoothly, rolling your foot from heel to toe.
Plan your walk
- Get the right gear. Get shoes with proper arch support, a firm heel and thick flexible soles. This is to cushion your feet and absorb shock.
- If you walk when it's dark, wear bright colors or reflective tape for visibility.
- Choose your route carefully. Avoid paths with cracked sidewalks, potholes, low-hanging limbs or uneven turf.
- Warm up. Walk slowly for 5 to 10 minutes. This will warm up your muscles and prepare your body for exercise.
- Cool down. In the last part of your walk, walk slowly for 5 to 10 minutes. This will help your muscles cool down.
