You may feel a tingling sensation in your heels at first, which is a sign that you need to do this exercise more. This method can help you lose weight and become more beautiful while improving circulation in the body.

Walk with your hands raised: Raise your hands and spread them slightly to both sides. This walking exercise can effectively exercise the neck muscles and relieve cervical pain.

Walking with high legs: With each step, bend your knees and lift your thighs flat. This can exercise your psoas muscles and shape your buttocks.

Walk by "bouncing": use force with all ten toes, and the foot that is in contact with the ground should have a "gripping" action, and it should feel like you are bouncing yourself up. This method can effectively promote microcirculation in the body.

In life, hiking in the morning or at night is an effective exercise for the elderly to keep fit. But when the elderly first start hiking, they should proceed step by step, not be impatient for success, and pay attention to the following six things.

Be sure to walk at your own pace: don't try to walk too fast, as this will consume a lot of physical energy and will result in slowness. If you are hiking with a group, it is best to find a companion who walks at a similar pace to you.

Scientifically measure your physical fitness: When you go hiking for the first few times, it is best to walk for several hours instead of planning how far you must go. After you have a better understanding of your abilities through a few such exercises, you can appropriately increase the intensity of your hike.

Don't just walk with your head down and miss the scenery around you: When hiking outdoors, keeping fit is only one of the purposes. Don't walk violently for some so-called "self-abuse" purpose. High-intensity physical exertion may sometimes not be worth the cost. Remember that when hiking outdoors, the most appropriate speed is the speed that you can sustain for a whole day.

Learn how to rest: Everyone has his or her own way of walking. When hiking, you should walk in a way that you feel most comfortable, so that your physical strength can be used scientifically and effectively.

When hiking, you should "eat more and drink more": eating and drinking more here refers to the number of times you eat and drink. When hiking, the human body loses a lot of heat. In order to replenish physical strength, you need to replenish water and food in time. It is appropriate to drink more water before climbing a big slope. If the weather is hot and you sweat a lot, you can add some salt to your drinking water.
