Engage your core
Strengthen abs and improve stability by tightening your ab muscles, pulling your belly button toward your spine while walking.
Incorporate incline walking
Walking on an incline engages abs and glutes more intensely, improving stability and balance; ideal for treadmill workouts without holding on.
Include power walking
Boost cardiovascular fitness, body composition, and muscular strength by walking briskly with exaggerated arm movements and increased stride length.
Perform walking lunges
Stabilize and engage core muscles by stepping forward into a lunge position, incorporating them into your walk until fatigue, followed by walking rest breaks.
Take squat breaks
Enhance core and hip challenge by taking breaks to perform squats, using neighborhood features like gutters or driveways for deeper squat positions.
Walk backward
Challenge balance and core muscles with backward walking (retro walking), safely incorporating it into your routine to diversify and enhance core engagement.
Wear a weighted vest
Increase workout intensity and core engagement by wearing a weighted vest or rucking with a loaded backpack, alternating with holding it like a suitcase.
Do side shuffles
Boost core strength and stability with lateral movements, performing side shuffles for 20-30 seconds in both directions before resuming regular walking.
