Keep your stomach tight, and try to flex your buttocks muscles with each step for added muscle toning. Pumping your arms is a great way to raise the heart rate, but don't over do it. Try to keep your arms below the level of the heart, you will get the effect of raising the heart rate, and you will be less likely to tire too soon. Always remember you will build tolerance the more you exercise, so keep pushing yourself to go the extra mile. Walking is really a work out.
