I get asked a lot, should I be running or walking. You do you. If you prefer one over the other do it. If you have an injury that stops you from running...walk! I also use this as a guideline. If you need a 'pick me up'....run. But if the world is going too fast for you at the moment and you need to relax and/or de-stress...walk. Whatever you do, do something, because doing any activity is better than doing no activity. Enjoy it! 🚶♀️🏃♀️👟

Let your body find its natural gait.
Your running form can be influenced by a number of factors, including your height, weight, muscle mass, body proportions and even the type of sports bra you wear. When left alone, “your body will self-optimize,” said Dr. Van Hooren. As you run more regularly, your body adjusts and learns how to move more efficiently.
