Pick Up the Pace
by Geri Walton ~ October 10th, 2008
If you’re walking to lose weight, you can pick up the pace if you walk the right way. Here’s how:
- Stand straight and keep yourself centered between your front and back legs with each step.
- As you step reach with the heel of the leading foot and push off with the toes from the trailing foot.
- Tighten your buttocks to improve momentum.
- Let your arms swing naturally.
- Concentrate on walking. If you don’t concentrate, you naturally slow down.
A person who is wise beyond their years and of strong emotional stability. Someone who has more understanding of the world around them.
