Tight muscles can lead to tears, pulls and strains, even for fitness walkers.
Stretch every time you walk. On your days off, stretch. Always warm up before stretching by walking for a few minutes at a leisurely pace. And stretch when you're done. You're probably familiar with the traditional calf stretch where you stand by a wall, stretch one leg back and press your heel into the ground.
