Tips to Get the Most Out of Your Walk!

A 30-minute walk can burn 200 calories or more.

New Balance, an athletic apparel manufacturer, has put together a few training tips to make sure you get the most out of your walk:

* While walking, pump your arms to get more power from your hips and tone the upper body.
* Control your hips: Move them as extensions of your thighs.
* Stand tall to allow your waist to swivel with the motion of your hips and legs.
* Try interval walking: Normal pace for five minutes, fast for 30 seconds. Repeat eight times.
* Take short quick steps instead of long strides.
* Use the heel-to-toe roll and push off with the back leg.
* Five by fives: While walking, hold your stomach in for five minutes, release for five.
