Walking is great exercise, but according to a podiatrist, there are certain walking habits you'll want to avoid to protect your body.
Your arm movements play a huge role in the efficacy of your walking routine, so you want to be sure you're employing them correctly.
If you're swinging your arms unevenly or not swinging them at all, it"creates all sorts of imbalances in your whole chain of movement—in your spine, in your hips, in your knees—because if you don't swing your arms, you're going to swing something else to compensate," Trinh points out.Trinh likens this walking style to that of a supermodel, where the feet cross over your body's midline with each step.
With all of these walking habits to avoid, Trinh notes that you shouldn't panic if you catch yourself doing them once in a while."But if you keep doing it, it's probably not OK when you get to 40, 50, 80, 90 years of age," he adds."So, take care of that body, and use your walking as your tool to stay fit and healthy."
And, of course, if you notice any pain or discomfort when walking, always first speak to your healthcare provider.
