  1. 1. Setup: Stand tall with your posture aligned, shoulder blades pulled back, and core braced. Look straight ahead rather than down at your feet.
  2. 2. Execution: Begin a steady walk, naturally rolling each foot from heel to toe. Swing your arms rhythmically with elbows bent at a 90-degree angle, maintaining the 2.8 to 3.2 mph pace.
  3. 3. Safety: Maintain a smooth, rhythmic breathing pattern. Ensure you wear comfortable, supportive footwear suitable for firm walking surfaces.
