The Great Outdoors: Life Outside of the Gym > Check Your Chin When Fitness Walking

Check Your Chin When Fitness Walking

To get the most from your walking workout, you should pay attention to how you hold your head. Avoid the following:

  • Tilting your chin downward can make breathing less efficient and harder to do. By keeping your head facing forward and in line with the rest of your body, you can breathe more deeply and evenly.
  • Jutting your chin forward. If you do this, you've probably not even been aware of it. Projecting your chin forward can strain the neck and upper back.
