You probably don’t need a reminder that walking is good for you — if there’s an exercise that doesn’t call for a gym membership, requires zero equipment and is accessible to all, it’s walking. From counteracting the toll of sitting at a desk to supporting heart health, hitting your daily 10,000-step goal, is a move in the right direction. Now, a new trend called posture walking is taking this everyday habit up a notch, highlighting that how you walk can be just as important as how far.
The wellness buzz around walking has been growing momentum for quite some time, with various walking workouts causing a stir on social media. Earlier this year, the 6-6-6 trend, (a routine which encouraged going for a 60-minute walk every day at either 6am or 6pm to help stack up daily wellness habits) was making waves. Since then, walking yoga, urban walking and even silent walking have all gained traction - and now posture walking is the newest contender, with online searches for the term increasing by 38% in the past quarter, reaching an all-time high worldwide of 30,000 searches last month.
