Walking is one of the best forms of exercise for everyone. Anyone, regardless of age or fitness level, can do it everyday without risk of injury. Here are some walking tips for those who want to take up this excellent exercise:
* A good pair of shoes is indispensable. An ill-fitting pair that does not provide good support can cause muscle soreness and injury.
* Warm up properly by stretching your leg muscles for at least five minutes to prevent injury.
* Start slow and go for short distances at first, about 20-minute walk will do fine. Gradually build up your walking regimen over a period of six to eight weeks until you can easily walk for about an hour.
* Do not over exert yourself. Easy does it pacing is the key.
* Cool down and stretch again.
