Walking

From the previous article. That said take it to the run. But wait change to walk then go first.

It's tempting to think that there's nothing to walking beyond putting one foot in front of the other and setting off. True, it is a very accessible form of exercise. However, getting the best from it calls for the right technique, pace, clothing and footwear - and a schedule.

Walking has many benefits. It's free, it's an independent mode of transport and environmentally friendly. It is also a great way to get fit before progressing to harder forms of exercise, such as running or preparing yourself for a bigger goal such as a marathon.#Walking at a brisk pace will burn between 300 and 400 calories per hour and because walking has only one-third as much impact as running, it is an ideal form bone-degenerating diseases such as osteoporosis.

Technique

Try to focus on a different aspect of your #technique each time you walk. It is important to keep your head still with your chin parallel to the ground to eliminate using unnecessary energy. Stand tall when you walk, keep your abdominals and buttocks tensed to keep your spine in a good neutral position, and bend your elbows at 90 degrees. To make your walking workout even more demanding, carry dumbbells or hand weights. The key to walking more efficiently is to increase your stride rate and maintain flexibility in the hips. Your foot should strike the ground with your heel first, before rolling forward on to your toes.

What to wear

It is essential to have the right clothes and footwear for walking exercise. Make sure that you are properly fitted for your walking shoes. There should be a certain amount of comfort to begin with, but be aware that shoes will get more comfortable as the material softens and you wear them in. Therefore, you should buy shoes that are a half to a whole size too large so that you have room for your feet to expand when they get hot. If you are going to walk on the side of the road or on smooth walking tracks, you can wear normal running shoes. However, if you are going off-road, you will need a shoe with ankle support to protect your ankles from turning over on rough terrain. You should also wear several layers of clothing so that you can adjust them as necessary.
