Strength Training Moves Every Walker Should Be Doing

If you walk and do a lot of it you should probably start

doing these training moves.

Toe Walk; Strengthens calves:

Walk on the balls of your feet, heels off the floor, for

30 seconds, repeat 3 times.

Heel Walk; Helps prevent burning shins:

Walk for 30 seconds on your heels only, with your feet

flexed and your toes pointing toward the ceiling,

repeat 3 more times.

Double Toe Raise; Works feet and shins:

Sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor. Lift just your

toes, then lift the rest of your foot, with your heels

staying on the floor. Lower your foot, then your toes.

Repeat 8-12 times.

Walking Lunges; Strengthens all leg muscles:

Take a big step forward with your right foot, then slowly

lower your left knee toward the floor. Your right knee

should be at a 90 degree angle. Press into your right foot

and stand back up, bringing your left foot forward next

to your right. Repeat, stepping with your left foot, and

continue across the floor. Do 8 times with each leg.

Lift Kick; Targets thighs and buttocks;

Lift your right leg, bending your knee 90 degrees.

Your thigh should be parallel to the floor. In a smooth

motion, sweep your leg back, pressing through your heel

and squeezing your butt. Without touching the floor, lift

your leg up in front again, and repeat.

Do 8-12 times with each leg.
