Still wondering which workout works best? According to the experts at the American Physical Therapy Association, one could argue that it's walking! Luckily, walking is also one of the easiest — and least expensive — workout options around! You can walk just about anytime, anywhere, with little equipment other than a pair of comfortable shoes. Still, there are some secrets to get walking on the right foot. The experts advise you to:

• Get good shoes: Go to a shoe store and have new walking shoes professionally fitted. There are so many brands and models available — they can help you find the perfect fit for your unique feet!
  
• Ease into it: Start slowly! Gradually increase your pace and distance until you reach your ultimate goal, rather than overdoing it and getting injured right from the start.
  
• Pace: Shoot for a pace that allows you to carry on a conversation without being winded. If you can't chat, you're going too fast!
  
• Pay attention to form: If you find yourself getting sore after your walks, it may be your gait. If it continues, talk to your doctor or a physical therapist about how to correct it.
  
• Stay hydrated: Aim to drink at least 8 to 12 ounces of water every 30 minutes while walking.
