Briskly Walking
Equipment
Begin walking at a normal pace to warm up your muscles, gradually increasing your speed until you reach a brisk pace where you're breathing heavier than normal but can still hold a conversation.
Swing your arms in a natural motion and maintain a straight posture with your chest lifted and your shoulders relaxed.
Focus on landing on your heel and rolling forward to push off on your toes, increasing your stride length as you get more comfortable with the brisk pace.
Continue this brisk walk for at least 30 minutes, and remember to cool down by slowing your pace for the last 5 minutes of your walk.
Pro Tip
Arm Movement: Swing your arms naturally with each stride. This not only helps to maintain your balance but also contributes to the overall calorie burn. However, avoid over-swinging your arms or bending them more than 90 degrees as it may lead to muscle strain. Footwork: Land softly on your heel and roll forward to push off on your toes. This technique helps to reduce the impact on your joints. Avoid stomping or dragging your feet which can cause unnecessary strain on your knees and ankles. Breathing: Practice deep, rhythmic breathing. Inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth. This helps to maximize oxygen intake and avoid shortness of breath. Don
