Walking for Health Tips From Dr Donohue
Reader asks about walking pace posture and intensity. 80 steps a minute is slow and 120 fast, but any pace provides benefit if effort feels meaningful. Good posture with a forward gaze, 90 degree arm bends, a forward arm swing to chest height, and heel strike with toe push off. Use poles to lift intensity.
