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
