Form tips
Always start your workout with a 5 to 10 minute warm-up at a slower pace to get your muscles ready for the exercise. Similarly, end your session with a cool-down period to gradually reduce your heart rate and prevent muscle stiffness.
Don't start walking at a high speed or incline. Begin your workout at a comfortable pace and gradually increase the intensity. This will help prevent injuries and ensure that you don't burn out too quickly.
