How to do it

Roll your foot from heel to toe with each step.

  1. 1

    Stand upright and hold a dumbbell in one hand at your side.

  2. 2

    Engage your core and keep your shoulders squared.

  3. 3

    Walk forward for a set distance or time while maintaining posture.

  4. 4

    Switch the dumbbell to the other hand and repeat.

Expert tip

Keep your shoulders level and core engaged to prevent leaning to one side, which can compromise form and effectiveness.

Common mistakes
