1.    Don't over----------------------------stride.
2.    Get hips and use them.
3.    Walk upright like a human rather than a gorilla.  Pretend that you are a puppet and pulled on a string by a cruel, evil dictator.
4.    Maintain a heel strike (no toe strike, Lucky Strike, or bowling strike).
5.    Build up those shins (not your tummy, ego, or other embellishments).
6.    Energize your feet during the driving phase.  Push off with your toes to make ballerinas jealous.
7.    Relax your arms but avoid chicken wings and buffalo wings.  However, keep your arms at a 90 degree angle so you can hold a picture frame of your favorite relative.
8.    Streeeeeeeeeeetch before and after a walk.
9.    Enjoy Marx Brothers movies but avoid Groucho's walk.  Keep those knees straight up to the point where your leg is straight below you.  
10.    Enjoy your walk. Think of how much money you are saving by walking rather than driving since gas prices will be $5.00/gallon next year.
