A dear competitive sprinter friend of mine always raves about his coach and his ability to perfect his form. I have seen the barefoot running shoes! They look incredible. Glad to hear that you wear and enjoy them. I think some people are afraid to wear them for fashion reasons. Little do they know how much pain they could reduce. Thanks for sharing your experience. Now I need to try a pair. @Kristin- Correct alignment and form are essential. A dear competitive sprinter friend of mine always raves about his coach and his ability to perfect his form.

If you lead more with the top of your body, less with your hips, this gives you the sensation of falling forward instead of pushing forward, it may alleviate shin splits. That's what really did it for my anyway. Also, in terms of joint pain, barefoot running has been so helpful. I use the Vibram Five Finger shoes (they aren't paying me to say this) and they're awesome! I don't have any knee problems anymore and running is a lot more like playing now than working out. But walking is huge, and super effective. Especially when exploring a new territory, I love seeking out hidden hills and stairs and turny roads in new cities! Great article!

I too am going to add more cardio into my routine. There are some days where I just need to sweat and huff and puff. Though my typical focus is on slimming, the heart is equally important. @Curiousjessica- I don't know how you have lasted. Shin splints are horrible! Get your power walk on or swim. Let me know how it goes :D @Gordie- Hills were the exact reason I loved SF so much. Sydney is similar, Melbourne way too flat. Glad to hear so many people are speedy walkers. Now it just takes getting out there everyday. @colin- yes yes us carless wanderers must walk. I too am going to add more cardio into my routine.

When I move back to New Zealand, I'm purposely choosing to settle in a city with hills. Walking on the flat all the time can be a bit boring and it's to easy to plateau in you level. Also, if you suffer from the high impact or running on your joints, you can add short sprints up hills to really get your heart moving. I am walking’s biggest fan.

I guess walking is more up my alley! I’ve been trying to run for months and getting disheartened by joint aches and shin splints. I guess walking is more up my alley!

This post was good news all around for me! All great stuff to know. I think I may try to walk more and when I do work out more, I'll try to moderate my heart rate better to make sure I balance the fat burning and cardio side of things. I love walking AND broccoli.
