Modification in walking technique goes a long way to making your walks more enjoyable and more effective. Technique is especially important if you are hoping to become fitter and lose weight, because it will enable you to walk faster and longer
The Walking Posture
A good walking posture allows you to breathe deeply, engage your core muscles, and use your leg and glutes (bottom) muscles for a natural walking stride. Walking is a good opportunity to reverse the hunching you may have adopted while sitting at your computer or using your phone.
Steps for a Perfect Walking Posture
1- Stand up straight with your feet a comfortable space apart. Your toes should be pointing forward, or a slight outward angle is acceptable.
2- Imagine a string attached to the top of your head. Feel it lift you up from your hips so you are tall and straight. Do not lean forward or backward.
3- Pull in your stomach slightly to engage your core muscles. This will help you maintain proper posture while walking and support your lower back.
4- Tuck in your bottom by rotating your hips forward slightly. This keeps you from arching your back.
5- Try not to look down, focus your eyes a few metres ahead of you.
