Walking Warm Up Tip
Dennis K. Flood, MS, is a director of a cardiac rehabilitation center in Sarasota, Florida. He has a suggestion that may help improve walking distance. He suggests that you stretch your legs before walking. His technique? Hold onto a wall or the frame of a doorway. Then, stand on a phone book or other large book with your shoes on, letting your heels hang over the edge. Raise and lower your heel to stretch your calf muscles. Then go for your walk. If this tip works for you, or doesn't, please feel free to let us know. We look forward to receiving tips and feedback from our readers!
