how to walk fast

  1. 1
  2. Keep the right posture. As you walk, your chin should be up, your eyes gazing directly in front of you, your back straight, chest raised, and shoulders relaxed. It may help if you pretend you're walking in a straight line to keep your body in the correct position.[2]
    • It'll be easier to be conscious of your body if you take a minute to warm up beforehand – and it'll help prevent injury. Cool down, too, for the same reasons.

    3. Use your arms. Your arms should be at your sides, bent at just under 90 degrees. Cup your hands gently – don't clench them – and swing them front to back, not side to side. They should be going out in front of you, not crossing.
      • Using your arms will fuel your workout, too, helping you burn more calories.[3] With more muscle groups being used, you'll get more out of your workout.

    2. Take smaller strides. It's a common misconception that taking longer strides helps you walk faster, and on the surface, it makes sense. However, it actually slows you down. How fast can your feet touch the ground if you're taking huge strides? Not very. Take shorter, smaller, quicker steps, and you'll actually get to where you're going faster.[4]
      • Don't compromise your form to do so. You'll probably have the urge to elongate your steps (it's natural and how you likely normally walk), but resist. Keep good posture, use your arms, and your feet with fly underneath you.

    2. Push off with your toes. You want to roll through from heel to toe when your foot hits the ground. Start with the back of your foot, and move forward, as if you're wiping gum off the bottom of your shoe. Pushing off with your toes also engages your leg and butt muscles, giving you a better workout.
      • The natural spring of your calf muscles will propel your body forward, keeping your momentum. This landing is natural and how your foot craves to hit the ground – deviate from it and you risk injury.[5]

    3. Tighten your abs and butt. As you walk, flatten your back and tilt your pelvis (your hips) ever so slightly forward. Keeping everything tight and being conscious of your muscles gives you a more full-bodied workout and gets your entire body into

      Make sure to fold the two figures differently in this step.
      • Take the right side of the leftmost (yellow) paper figure, and fold it down along the middle crease, using the open side of the paper. Take the right side of the rightmost (pink) paper figure, and fold it up along the middle crease, using the closed side of the paper.
      • Do the opposite for each paper figure. Take the left side of the leftmost (yellow) paper figure, and fold it up along the middle crease, using the closed side of the paper. Take the left side of the rightmost (pink) paper figure, and fold it down along the middle crease, using the open side of the paper.
