Partner Walk Tips

  1. Start by standing tall with your feet hip-width apart, engaging your core for stability.
  2. Take a step forward with your right foot, landing on your heel and rolling through your foot to push off with your toes.
  3. As you step forward, focus on driving through your quads to propel yourself forward, feeling the burn in your thigh muscles.
  4. Keep your torso upright and avoid leaning forward or backward, maintaining a natural posture throughout the exercise.
  5. Engage your calves by pushing off with your toes and squeezing your calf muscles as you lift your back foot off the ground.
  6. Take slow and controlled steps, focusing on the mind-muscle connection to ensure proper form and maximum muscle engagement.
  7. Remember to breathe steadily throughout the exercise, inhaling deeply as you step forward and exhaling as you push off with your toes.
