STEP SMART TO GET SLIM FASTER



Got any walkers out there? Want to improve your burn? Check out these steps to help you walk faster and burn more calories.



1.  Keep your gaze focused directly ahead, not down at your feet.
2.  Stand tall, head straight and chin up; avoid leaning forward.
3.  Roll your shoulders back and down, not scrunched up by your ears.

4.  Make a relaxed fist, as though cupping a fragile potato chip.
5.  Tighten your abs, pulling belly button toward spine. 
6.  Bend your arms; naturally swing them forward and back without crossing the center of your body.

7.  With each step, land on your heels and push off with your toes. (Aim for a midfoot strike when running.)
