A Walking Workout Walking is not often thought of as a serious workout. But walking is an excellent exercise. To get the most out of your walks, follow a few simple steps.

First, as a serious walker, get the right shoes. Comfortable shoes with good support result in a strong pace and fewer injuries. Second, stretch before you walk. As you walk fast, up and down hills, or for a long time, your muscles are working in ways they usually do not. Stretching warms up the muscles and makes them able to do the extra work. Third, vary your pace by speeding up for short distances during your walk.

Also, swing your arms to force the muscles in your upper body to move too, and add five minutes each time you walk until you are able to walk longer distances.

Finally, after you walk, stretch again and drink a glass of water.
