Walking is one of the simplest and most effective exercises, but if done incorrectly, it may not give you the results you want. Avoid these common mistakes to make your daily walks actually count for fitness, weight loss, and overall health. (Source: Photo by Unsplash )
Not Using Arms While Walking: Keeping your arms stiff or in your pockets reduces calorie burn. Swing them naturally to engage upper body muscles. (Source: Photo by Unsplash )
Walking Too Slowly: A very slow pace won’t raise your heart rate enough to burn calories or improve cardiovascular health. (Source: Photo by Unsplash )
Sticking To The Same Routine: Walking the same route, at the same pace daily, can limit progress. Change pace, include inclines, or try intervals for better results. (Source: Photo by Unsplash )
Wearing The Wrong Shoes: Ill fitting or unsupportive footwear can cause blisters, knee pain, and make walking less efficient. (Source: Photo by Unsplash )
Walking Right After A Heavy Meal: This can cause indigestion and discomfort, slowing you down instead of energizing you. (Source: Photo by Unsplash )
Poor Posture: Slouching or looking down puts strain on your back and neck. Walk tall with shoulders relaxed and chin up. (Source: Photo by Unsplash )
