••TIPS••
WALKING WELL

  1. Keeping your chin off your chest improves your breathing and beats looking at concrete. (Another reason why using a cane is a plus!
  2. Wear comfortable shoes that support your feet well. Step on heel and rock forward to your toes as you continue to walk.
  3. Don't use hand weights, they cause additional problems. If you use a cane, change hands periodically so that each arm gets a relaxing to and fro swing as you walk.
  4. Don't worry about setting a walking record. Just five minutes a day every day will do wonders.
HAPPY WALKING!
