5 Tips to Make Your Walking Workout More Effective

What on earth could be easier than walking? However, if you perform it on the treadmill, then there are a few things to bear in mind.

What on earth could be easier than walking? However, if you perform it on the treadmill, then there are a few things to bear in mind.

Here are the main five tips that can make your walking workout routine more efficient.

1. Pay attention to posture.

Imagine that there is a string fixed to your rib cage that lifts you up. Engage your abdominals and keep your shoulders back and down. Look forward. Never use the handrails – you will then reduce the risk of injuries. Besides, if a person needs to hold on it means that he is walking too fast for his ability. The right walking involves your arms as well. Pump them while walking and remember to bend your elbows to 90 degrees.

2. Tread lightly.

Feet should not be pounded – this might cause various injuries, such as shin splints. Pay attention to your foot strike. If it is too loud, then it’s a bad sign hence turn down the TV or your player and listen to how you walk. More than that, both your left and right foot should make similar sounds. Do not favor only one side. Resolve the issues by concentrating on rolling from heels to toes as you step.
