Walking is one of the best low-impact exercises, and it's also one of the cheapest and most convenient ways to get healthier; however, many Americans walk less than half of the daily recommended steps. Walking can reduce your risk of heart disease and cancer, while reducing chronic pain and stress.

Part 1 Improving Your Walking Gait

Warm up your body. Warming up your body by starting slowly when you walk will reduce over-exertion on your muscles. This can help you walk longer, and at a better pace. Try to warm up by walking slowly for five to 10 minutes at the beginning of the walk.
• This will loosen up your muscles and get them ready for exercise. To warm up do the following for 30 seconds each: Make circles with each ankle; swing each leg; make slow circles with your hips or legs; make arm circles; march in place; and swing your legs back and forth.
• Similarly, cool down at the end of your walk by slowing down for 5 to 10 minutes. After you cool down, stretch your muscles gently.
• Warming up properly can help you avoid walking injuries, such as strained muscles.

Walk Step 2

Improve your walking posture. When walking, try to use purposeful movements when you stride and pay attention to your posture. Make sure you have good, erect posture. Try to look 12-20 feet in front of you as you walk.
• Walk with your head up, while looking forward. Don’t look down at the ground constantly as you walk, which could strain your neck.
• Relax your neck, shoulders and back. Although your posture should be strong, your body should not be held too stiffly as you walk.
• Swing your arms with a slight bend in the elbows if you want. Tighten your stomach muscles, and don’t arch your back forward or backward.

Walk Step 3

Walk heel to toe. When walking, you should step forward with your foot. Let your heel land on the ground in front of you. Then, roll your foot forward, transferring your weight to the ball of your foot. With your other foot, raise your heel, push your foot off the ground with your big toe, and repeat the first process.
• Walking is different from running. Your feet should never lift off the ground completely at the same time.
• Find a stride that's comfortable for you. If you're losing track of the heel-to-toe motion, and aren't rolling your feet consistently, you may need to slow down.


Walk Step 4

Straighten out your legs if you have tight hips or hamstrings. If you sit too much, you may have a tendency to always bend your knees while walking. This usually means that your hip flexors and hamstrings are too tight. As you walk, make a conscious effort to straighten out your legs.

Walk Step 5

Avoid hyperextending your knee. Hyperextending your knee means moving your knee backwards slightly when standing or walking. Some people may have a natural tendency to hyperextend their knees, but hyperextending your knee can cause increased stress to your joints. When walking, be conscious of your knees to avoid hyperextending them.
Maintain a slight bend in your knee when walking, especially if you're prone to hyperextending your knee when standing. This will feel strange at first, but eventually your knees will adapt.
Go slowly up stairs, moving in slow and deliberate motions.
Avoid wearing heels too frequently, as this can encourage knee hyperextension.

Walk at a fast clip. To get the greatest health benefits from walking, try to walk at a slightly faster pace than a mere stroll. Strive to walk with quick, not long, steps.
Walking should be a moderate-intensity aerobic activity. This means that you’ve broken a sweat and your heart rate has risen.
How can you tell if you’re walking fast enough? You should be able to talk but not sing a song while you’re walking.
Three miles per hour is a good pace if you’re walking to improve your health. If you’re walking to lose weight, pick up the pace to 4 miles in an hour, which is a 15-minute mile.

Make walking a habit. Try to build more walking into the course of your regular day whenever possible. If you get into a routine, you’ll soon see the steps and health benefits adding up.
Walk to work or part of the way to work if this is possible. Take the stairs when you usually take the elevator. Get up and walk around after you sit for 30 minutes. You can reduce the chronic pain caused by poor ergonomics in the office by walking around for five minutes every 30 minutes. You may be surprised by how much your daily step total will go up by completing a five-minute walk every half hour.
Park your car a ways from your destination so you are forced to walk. Build a regular stroll or walk with friends or family into your day after dinner.
Some people walk around indoor malls or even up and down their company’s stairs over their lunch hours because they don’t have time or money to go to a gym.

Getting a Routine For Walking
Image titled Walk Step 7
1
Start gradually. As with any exercise regimen, you might be more likely to quit walking if you try to do too much too soon. You also could strain your muscles. Be patient and work up to longer walks.
Even though walking is a low-impact exercise, your muscles, joints and feet must adjust to new activity levels to avoid soreness and injury. Motivate yourself by remembering that you can burn about 400 calories from a brisk walk, although it takes about 5 miles to do so.
If you want to lose weight, it’s a good idea to also reduce how many calories you eat per day and to eat healthier unprocessed foods. Try to add 2,000 steps into your daily routine when you first start walking. Sometimes you can add steps just by making small lifestyle choices every single day, such as taking the stairs at work when you could take the elevator.
If you don’t see weight loss right away, it might be because you are starting to build up muscle, which is good. Be patient, and you will see results over the course of time. Slowly add more steps each week.

Aim to walk for 21 minutes per day. If you prefer to have a few days off during any given week, that’s fine too. Just aim to walk a total of around 2.5 hours per week.
One benefit of walking is that you don’t need a lot of specialized equipment to do it. You can walk wherever you are, even if you are on vacation. You don’t need to be in great shape to start doing it.
You can go over the 2.5 hours per week recommendation as you slowly build your endurance for longer distances. The standard official health advice recommends 150 minutes of physical activity a week.[3]
All of the fitness advice, although it might vary by a few minutes here or there, consistently recommends the same thing: Walking for several hours a week, however you divide those hours up, has enormous healthy benefits. Eventually, try to walk at least 30 to 45 minutes at a time.

Walk almost every day. The number one key to many forms of exercise is consistency. If you walk irregularly or, say, once a month, you’re not going to see a lot of benefits. Make walking something you do regularly.
If you build walking into your regular activities on a daily basis (or at least several times a week), you could see many health benefits. Walking reduces the risk factors that cause heart disease and strokes.[4]
Indeed, walking can cut your risk of heart disease by 30 percent. It can also help control the risk of diabetes and cancer. Always check with your doctor before embarking on any new physical activity, especially if you have a medical condition.
Lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol, and sharper mental acuity are all benefits fr

Looking past the explosive opening and the fair amount of detail put into Raccoon City, Resi 3 feels much like a half-hearted & rushed attempt to churn out a sequel that Capcom hoped would be as successful as 2019's Resi 2

I can only recommend this when its price is lower - 5/10

The full release of Black Mesa took 15 years to make with a relatively small dev team, and everything finally came together for one of the most polished and faithful remakes of any video game ever. Everything is up to the modern Source engine standard and what was originally Half-Life 1 is now full of new life and a much stronger sci-fi horror tone. The dull parts of HL1 are also reimagined entirely, displaying Crowbar Collective's unique game design with their own spin on the latter chapters. Although it shares flaws with Source games that precede it, Black Mesa was created with passion for Valve's debut series, and that passion makes it the best Source game to date.

It's 2018 as of writing and this Dishonored 2 PC port still runs as smoothly as a car with square wheels.

I've tried my best to fix my hardware and game settings and nothing prevails

I've never had so much fun and enjoyment in a game like this in a while. I was told Dishonored is a refreshing must-play game, and whoever told me that on the internet wasn't kidding. Dishonored is now one of my 10/10 favorite games now, and there's many reasons why. The game is so well made and very creative. The combat is invigorating and the story is great. The choices and side-quests in this game are also very nice. Not to mention the chaos gameplay mechanic. Overall, I've loved this game and I can not wait for the sequel this year.
