Stand erect, but not stiff, with neck/shoulders relaxed.

Keep your head erect, using your eyes to look down at the ground 12-20 feet ahead.

Bend your elbows at a 90-degree angle, holding each hand in a relaxed fist --thumb on top.

Swing your arms with elbows close to your side, and with your fists defining an arc from your waistband to a point just outside and below the sternum.

Tilt your pelvis forward to reduce any swayback.

Let your hips rotate about the axis of the spine -- rather than swaying the hips from side to side.

Do not plant your heel too far in front of your body -- planting too far forward causes a braking action that slows you down and jolts the body.

Plant each heel with the forefoot elevated at a 30- to 45-degree angle to the ground, then roll over the supporting foot.

Left and right footprints should track a line no more than 4 inches wide (like walking on a balance beam).
