Begin walking by stepping forward with your right foot, then move your left foot forward to meet it, ensuring you land on your heel and roll forward to push off on your toes.
As you walk, swing your arms naturally and maintain a straight posture with your shoulders back and your chest out.
Keep a steady pace, focusing on the rhythm of your steps and your breathing, inhaling and exhaling naturally.
Gradually increase your pace and distance as your fitness level improves, ensuring to cool down by slowing your pace at the end of your walk.
Pro Tip
Arm and Foot Movement: Swing your arms freely with a slight bend in your elbows. A little pump with your arms is a good thing. Also, your steps should start from the heel and roll towards the toe. Common mistake to avoid: Over swinging the arms or walking flat-footed. Walking Speed: Start at a comfortable pace. If you're walking for fitness, gradually increase your speed. Aim for a brisk pace of 3 to 4 mph. Common mistake to avoid: Starting too fast and getting exhausted quickly. Wear Appropriate Gear: Invest in a good pair of walking shoes that support your feet and cushion your step.
