Walking: The Best Exercise

3. Walk and Talk at the Same Time

Some people like to chat while exercising. Well, if you can walk briskly and talk without blushing and breathing, you may need to speed up. You might as well try alternative walking. For example, walk fast for one minute and then slowly for two. This method can help you burn out more calories as well as protect you from sports injury. 

Key Points for Brisk Walking:

1. Posture: Keep your upper body upright, with eyes looking forward, neck muscles relaxed, and arms naturally swinging back and forth.

2. Step frequency: Step frequency is an important indicator of the exercise effect of walking exercise. Different step frequency has different exercise effects.

3. Foot landing technique: Land on your heel, roll to the forefoot, then push off the ground with your toes and finish a stride. Make sure that with every step you use your toes with some serious strength to push off the ground.

4. Breathing: Use your mouth and nose at the same time, but mainly your mouth; Breathe rhythmically: two steps, exhale; another two steps, inhale.
