The problem is that the body needs a few minutes to adapt to movement.
When you start too quickly:
Muscles are still stiff
Joints are not yet prepared
The heart rate rises suddenly
This can increase the risk of muscle discomfort or fatigue.
The solution
Start your walk slowly for the first 3 to 5 minutes, then gradually increase your pace.
This small adjustment helps prepare the body and protects the joints.
Mistake 2: Walking With Poor Posture
Incorrect posture while walking is more common than it seems.
Many people walk:
with their shoulders slumped
with their head tilted forward
constantly looking at the ground
