Walking may seem like the simplest form of exercise in the world, as every able-bodied person walks every day. But do you really know how to “walk”? The way you’ve been walking since childhood might not be correct—and could even lead to injuries. “Most walkers don’t realize their walking is inefficient, which is essentially self-inflicted torment,” says Ken Matheson, a UK-based fitness expert specializing in walking research from Cambridge. “For example, many people sway or stumble as they walk. Others swing their arms wildly. While these may seem like minor issues, over time, they could cause hidden injuries from walking.”
