• Keep the body posture relaxed and straight. In other words, walk tall.
• Avoid leaning too far forward or sitting back. This can result in a loss of power.
• Keep abdominal muscles firm to maintain neutral lower back curvature. Over tightening of the abdominals can cause lower back discomfort. Over relaxation of the abdominals can case "sway back".
• The shoulders must remain relaxed. Avoid "hiking up" the shoulders as this will cause tension in the neck and shoulder area.
