If you want to improve your stride, you should improve your posture. Walk with your back straight yet relaxed. Draw an imaginary line from your ear, through your shoulder, and down to your hip, knee, and ankle. Don't arch your lower back while walking.

Avoid tilting your head down - this leads to fatigue as you produce too much tension in your neck and shoulders. Hold your head straight and look forward. Hold your chin parallel to the ground. Make sure you watch your step.

In order to prevent your fingers and hands from getting numb, bend your elbows at a 90-degree angle. In addition to helping prevent numbness, this move will blast 5-10% more calories and strengthen your biceps and triceps. Shoulders should also be relaxed and not raised towards the ears.

Rotate your lower body with the help of abdominal muscles and hip flexors so that hips are put forward. Place your feet straight in front of your body, and don't speed up your walking by making your stride longer. It can have a harmful effect on your back. The only way to make your walk more efficient is by increasing hip flexibility and producing quicker steps.
