It certainly is breezy at the moment and this morning I was walking straight into the wind and up a steep hill on the Downs with my 2 dogs. Both walking into the wind and up a hill makes you want to lean forwards - this only makes walking more difficult. Next time you are walking up a hill just try to stay upright - you could think of sending your head up over the hill. When you lean forwards you are taking your body out of good alignment and therefore making your back muscles work harder. |
