Shape your body by Walking

The greatest myth about walking as an exercise is that walking helps only in reducing your weight and not toning your body the way you want it, by removing fat from specific parts of your body. Gym exercises and Swimming are looked upon as better options when body toning is in question.

This is not true, however. There is more to walking than just pleasure-walking and fast walking. There are many ways of  walking and each of your body parts benefit from some way or the other.

Here’s how you can shape your body the way you want, by walking.

1. Flat Stomach

Walk downhill with small, fast steps, stomach in, shoulders straight. Make your steps as small as possible and very fast.

2. Shapely Thighs

Walk uphill with long steps, without bending your knees, stomach in, shoulders straight. This will shape your hips as well.

3. Slimmer Arms

Swing your arms freely as you walk. Feel the pressure in your upper arms as you stretch your arms back and forth.

4. Slim Waistline

Walk at a medium pace with your hands held high in the air above your  head. Keep your hands straight and maintain a perfect posture as you walk.

Continued exercising in the correct way will bring you desired results. I suggest  continuing any kind of exercise regularly for at least 40 days before expecting results.
