Swing those arms

Turn your walking into a kilojoule-torching workout by bending your elbows 90 degrees and
pumping your arms as you stride. It not only automatically speeds up your pace but helps you burn
up to 15 per cent more kilojoules every time you work out.
For proper pumping: Trace an arc from your waist to your chest as you swing. Your thumbs should
come close to touching your waistband as your elbow goes backward. Also, make sure to keep
elbows in and don't let hands cross past the middle of your chest (in front of your sternum). Too
much side-to-side motion drags down your pace.
