- BERFORE
WALKING, allow plenty of time to perform a few simple
stretching movements. As a result, you will be able to walk
further, longer and injury free.
- CHOOSE PROPER
FOOTWEAR. Wear walking shoes that are stable from
side to side and well cushioned, snug in the heel, yet allow
enough room to wiggle your toes freely.
- WEAR COMFORTABLE
CLOTHING. When walking near a road, it's wise to
wear bright clothing that will be easily seen by passing
motorists.
- BRING A
SUPPLY OF WATER WITH YOU. It is important to stay
hydrated not only on hot days, but at any time in dry climates.
- AVOID WALKING
IN VERY HOT OR VERY COLD WEATHER. On those days,
choose to walk at your local mall or indoor track.
- WALK ON
SOFT GROUND. Softer ground is more foot-friendly
than cement or asphalt. If possible, walk on grass or dirt
paths that are flat, even and well manicured.
- EXERCISE
SMART; KNOW YOUR LIMITS. Consult your physician before
beginning a fitness program, especially if you are substantially
overweight, physically inactive and become easily fatigued,
and/or have a history of heart disease, poor circulation
or diabetes.
