To increase speed, take longer and faster steps.


Slow Down

To slow down, take smaller steps. 


Stop / Braking

To stop, put both feet on ground.


Pro Walking Tips

Tip 1: Don't Lock your Knees

Don't lock your knee while walking. Try and swing your feet naturally as you walk.


Tip 2: Heel to Toe

Make sure you land with your heel and push off with your toe - exactly as normal walking.


Tip 3: Feet Pointing Forward

Don't cross your legs while walking. Try and maintain your feet naturally pointing forward at all times.


Tip 4: Turning

  1. Start making smaller steps as you enter a turn 
  2.  Make a larger stride on your outer leg, and lean your body towards the side you are turning to.
  3. Walk as usual when you exit the turn.
