1. Stand up straight and erect. Do not lean forward or back. 2. Pay attention to your body’s movements as you begin to walk. 3. Keep your head up and facing forward. Your eyes should be focused forward, about 20 feet ahead of you. 4. Relax your neck, shoulders, and back. Keep your chin up to help reduce strain on these areas of your body. 5. Swing your arms with a slight bend at your elbows. 6. Slightly tighten your stomach muscles to keep your back straight. 7. Tuck in your buttocks by rotating your hips slightly forward. This should prevent you from arching your back. 8. Your hips should shift naturally from side to side as you walk but not fully rotate. 9. Push off from your heel and let your foot roll through to your toe. Your heel will always hit the ground first, and your toes should slightly flex upward.
