Change the way you walk to improve your balance, get better muscle tone and walk longer distances faster.

Engage your abs

2. Engage your abs

Stand with feet a fist's distance apart. Use your lower ab muscles to hold your pelvis so it's horizontal to the ground. Think of your pelvis as a bowl of cereal―if you tilt it too far forward or back, the milk will spill. (The waistband of your walking pants should be parallel to the ground.) Keeping your lower abs contracted, shift your weight back and forth between your legs and notice how your pelvis doesn't move from side to side. That's how you should feel when you walk.
