Avoid These 10 Mistakes While Walking!

1. Do not go out in uncomfortable shoes. Some slight discomfort at the beginning may develop into stinging pain over time and your stroll will be compromised.
2. Wear comfy clothes that are seasonally appropriate. Feeling too hot or too cold won’t help and you could catch a cold. Also, you should be able to move freely.
3. Blaming yourself for setbacks. Listen, they are normal, setbacks happen. Take your time and continue moving towards your goal.
4. Not doing a proper warm-up before walking.

5. Forgetting to maintain good posture.
6. Not maintaining the right pace. Keep in mind that brisk walking is best. If you’re struggling to keep up with the pace, do brisk walking in intervals.
7. No strength training. While walking is indeed a great way to start incorporating physical activity into your life, with time you’ll need to do more to continue losing weight—strength training. Health organizations recommend doing 2 strength training sessions a week.
8. The same route over and over again. You need to come up with new routes from time to time; otherwise, you’ll see your walking habit turn into something really boring.
9. Your nutrition isn't helping. Overeating and a diet of mostly processed foods simply cannot support or aid your walking efforts.
10. Neglecting proper hydration.
