How to do it
Stand on the outdoor air walker machine and grip the handles, placing one foot on each pedal. Swing your legs forward and back in an alternating striding motion, letting the hips drive the rhythm while you stay tall. Keep a smooth, controlled pace throughout.
- 1Feel your hip flexors and glutes drive each leg forward and back
- 2Keep your torso upright and core lightly braced for balance
- 3Let the legs swing in a smooth, even rhythm
Common mistakes
- Do not let the pedals swing you with momentum; stay in control
- Avoid hunching forward over the handles
- Do not let your stride become uneven or jerky
