# Walking

Stand upright with your feet hip-width apart and your arms relaxed by your sides.

## How to do it

1. Stand upright with your feet hip-width apart and your arms relaxed by your sides.
2. Step forward with your right foot, rolling through the heel to the ball of your foot while swinging your left arm forward and right arm back.
3. Push off with your right foot, bringing your left foot forward to step, swinging your right arm forward and left arm back.
4. Continue this alternating pattern, maintaining a natural stride and rhythm. Repeat for the desired distance or time.

## Form tips

- Swing your arms naturally in opposition to your legs to help with balance and momentum.
- Maintain a steady and comfortable pace that allows you to walk efficiently.
- Wear comfortable, supportive shoes to prevent injury and enhance your walking experience.
