Walking is our freedom to GO anywhere, anytime, automatically, to get somewhere ‘on our own’ without fear or assistance.

It is the antithesis to the slipper shuffle and a key player in fall resistance, that is, staying UP. A shorter, wider stride, stiffer ankles and feet, and a hunched posture are not a function of aging per se. We CAN be spry, walk tall, with spring in our step, well into our 80’s and 90’s.
