Walking

What it is

This foundational movement engages your quadriceps primarily. It also recruits your calves, glutes, and hamstrings for support. Often performed on a machine like a treadmill, it provides excellent cardiovascular benefits. You can adjust the incline to increase intensity and muscle activation.

Technique tips

• Maintain an upright posture with your shoulders back.
• Keep your gaze forward, not down at your feet.
• Swing your arms naturally, keeping them close to your body.
• Use the handrails only for stability, not for full support.
• Increase the incline to elevate your heart rate and leg engagement.

How to track your progress

Log distance and time. Straddly tracks your pace and your longest effort, and marks new bests automatically.
