The basic principles and essentials of walking is not only the leg movement,What We Can Do When Hiking Articles but the whole body movement, people should pay attention to balance the body and the adjustment of the pace through the arm. Control your walking rhythm, and the best walking speed is walking but without big breath and ensure your pulse is no more than 120 beats/minute. Chin up and straight your back, take your deep breath by abdomen, keep the whole foot touching the ground, the displacement order is from heel to toe. No matter at what time, you should walk under the walking rhythm, do not speeding up and slowing when you run, try to keep the uniform speed.
At the very beginning of hiking, you should keep yourself a slow movement in order to warm up your body, and speed up the pace after 5-10 minutes. The team members should keep their distance in a certain miles, in order to make sure that the suspended walker and the advanced walkers will not affect each other. Usually, the suspended team members are walk in the right side and the advanced walkers is certainly for the left side, when meeting with the oncoming team, both sides should keep this rule as a respect. A safe distance between the suspended members and the advanced members should keep in ten minutes' distance or 200 meters in the day time, while at night the distance should be 5minutes or 20 meters. It is necessary to develop good habits when hiking: focus on walking, do not laugh and frolicking when walking; avoid loud singing, because it will not only distract the attention of other players, while also unnecessary consumption of their physical exertion.
When walking in the uphill, the center of gravity should be in the fore-soles of the feet, and keep the body slightly forward when going downhill, focus on the hind paw, while lowering the center body gravity, slightly drooping. Whether uphill or downhill, when walking on steep slope, your trace should take a zigzag shape and avoid a straight line from top to bottom, this is a relatively safe walking on the downhill. When going in uphill or downhill, you should go on a hand test pull of the stones, twigs and cans, to make sure whether they can load with your body, then you can grab on it to go on your climbing. People often see the players pull withered rotten branches, rattan, which cause falls, injuries and other accidents.
The hikers should also pay attention to their rest principle when walking, generally, short rest combine with long time rest, and the short one is usually the main choice. A short break should control within five minutes, and is not relieved backpacks and other equipment, to recover the normal breathe. A long rest time should happened in every 60-90 minutes, with a rest time for 15-10 minutes with moving the backpacks down. The first 2-3 minutes standing time is for adjusting the breathe, then sit down, but not to stop to sit down and rest, this will increase the burden on the heart. Hikers can choose to massage the legs, waist, shoulders and other muscles among each other or just by themselves, or they can choose to slay down make sure the leg blood congestion is ready flow into the heart.
