The article from MSN outlines several common mistakes people should avoid when walking for better health. It emphasizes the importance of proper walking techniques, such as maintaining a brisk pace, using the correct posture, and engaging the arms for a full-body workout. Key points include not walking too slowly, which reduces the exercise's effectiveness; neglecting to warm up or cool down, which can lead to injuries; wearing improper footwear that doesn't provide adequate support; and ignoring the need for hydration and nutrition. Additionally, the article advises against walking on overly soft surfaces like sand or grass which can strain muscles, and stresses the importance of varying routes to prevent boredom and to challenge different muscles. It also warns against the pitfalls of overstriding, which can cause knee and hip issues, and not incorporating rest days, which are crucial for muscle recovery and overall health.
