WALKTOBER TIPS

INVEST IN GOOD SHOES
They should fit without pinching or pressure. Wear the type of socks you will wear when walking.
WARM UP
Walk at a normal pace for 5 minutes to warm up – then increase your tempo.
CHANGE ROUTE
Change your route and vary your terrain. You’ll prevent boredom and hills will provide additional benefits.
HYDRATE
Don’t wait to hydrate.
Carry a water bottle and
drink often.
