Good technique is essential to get the most from your walking workout:

• Keep your head up and centered between your shoulders and your shoulders back and down.
Your chest should be lifted and your abs strong.
• Your arms should be bent at 90 degrees.
Swing them back and forth -- not side to side.
Keep your hands loosely cupped.

• Power your movements from your hips rather than your thighs but keep your hips loose and natural.
Take short, fast strides that still feel natural rather than awkward.

Gear: Walking shoes, comfortable clothing.
Instruction/Facilities: Anywhere but you might want to try a track, treadmill or trail.
Time: 20-60 minutes, 3-6 days a week
