Vein-Walking
Posture and walking technique
1. Walk with your body upright, looking straight ahead, the chin pointing slightly downwards, stretching the back of the neck
2. Pull your shoulders back and lift your chest
3. Pull in stomach and bottom, keep muscles slightly tensed, avoid a hollow back
4. Keep the elbows parallel and close to the body, bend the arms slightly allowing them to hang loosely at your side and swing as you walk
5. Make your hands into slightly open fists
6. Make sure your heel hits the ground first and that you then roll onto the ball of your foot and then your toes. The knees should always be relaxed and not completely straightened
7. Raise the foot and set it down, heel first, 20 to 30 cm in front of the other
Always stay relaxed and walk at your own pace. Make sure that you follow the right sequence of movements!
Do not stop walking abruptly but wind down gradually and finish with a few stretching exercises.
