You probably don’t need a reminder that walking is good for you – if there’s an exercise that doesn’t call for a gym membership, requires zero equipment and is accessible to all, it’s walking.
From counteracting the toll of sitting at a desk to supporting heart health, hitting your daily 10,000-step goal is a move in the right direction. Now, a new trend called posture walking is taking this everyday habit up a notch, highlighting that how you walk can be just as important as how far.
