“Many years back, as infants, we began walking. We weren’t very good at it. Our first steps were hesitant, our balance wasn’t very good, and we stumbled often. With practice we improved to the point where most of us don’t have to think about walking. Most importantly, when we first began walking we did not suffer any overuse injuries, although we may have had a few dings and bruises from falling. We need to make sure that we carefully approach a healthy walking fitness program and do all is possible to avoid injury. By avoiding injury you’ll be able to make progress to your goals as rapidly as possible.”

In the article, “Beginning A Healthy Walking Program” by Stephen M. Pribut, DPM reviews some of the most important aspects of starting a healthy program of walking.
