Do’s

• Stand tall, keeping your gaze forward—not down.

• Engage your core—gently contract your stomach muscles and keep your back flat.

• Relax your neck, shoulders, and back.

• Bend your elbows at a right angle and swing your arms naturally.

• Take comfortable strides—let your feet land beneath your body, not ahead.

• Focus on a brisk, steady rhythm—aim for quick, relaxed steps.

Don’ts

• Don’t look at the ground while walking.

• Don’t slouch or let your posture collapse.

• Don’t round your shoulders forward or droop.

• Don’t lead with your chin—this strains your neck and throws off alignment.

• Don’t let your arms dangle—keep them engaged for balance and rhythm.

And Remember

• Wear comfortable, supportive, and well-fitted footwear.

• Hydrate well—drink water during and after your walk.

• If you’re new to walking, start slow with short distances, and build up gradually.
