HOW TO WALK
How you hold your body is important to walking
comfortably and easily. With good posture, you will be able to breathe easier

Do not lean forward or lean back. Leaning puts strain on
the back muscles.
Eyes forward, not looking down, rather 20 feet ahead.
Chin up (parallel to the ground). This reduces strain on
neck and back.
Shrug once and let your shoulders fall and relax, your
shoulders slightly back.
Suck in your stomach.
Tuck in your behind and rotate your hip forward slightly.
This will keep you from arching your back.
