How to perform?

How to perform: Set treadmill to a moderate pace you can sustain for 20–30 minutes and increase incline to 4–6% for added posterior chain and calf engagement. Maintain an upright posture, take full foot strikes, and engage the glutes with each step. Use the walk to flush the muscles and add conditioning.

Muscles worked: primarily calves, glutes, and hamstrings with light quad involvement. Common mistakes include leaning on the handrails, overstriding, or using a sprint pace that reduces benefit; proper form preserves calf and glute activation and provides a low-impact metabolic finish to the session.
