Not warming up can lead to muscle strain and injury, reducing the effectiveness and safety of your walking workout.

Wrong Footwear

Wearing improper shoes causes discomfort, blisters, and potential injuries, impacting the quality and duration of your walks.

Poor Posture

Slouching or leaning forward decreases walking efficiency and can cause neck, shoulder, and back pain, hindering progress.

Overlooking Intensity

Walking too slowly may not elevate your heart rate enough to burn sufficient calories for effective weight loss.

Inconsistent Routine

Irregular walking patterns hinder progress and consistency, making it harder to achieve weight loss goals.

Ignoring Diet

Poor eating habits, like consuming high-calorie or processed foods, negate the benefits of walking and prevent weight loss.
