Are you making these walking mistakes?

Walking with weights will NOT burn more calories or tone your muscles more effectively than walking without them. In fact, the risks outweigh the benefits, researchers say.


Shoes with thick, cushiony soles are NOT better for walking than thinner, more flexible shoes. (Our experts help you choose the best shoes for your needs.)


Taking longer strides is NOT the best way to speed up your pace if you’re trying to lose weight.
