Avoid A Tumble By Walking Like A Penguin

With the snow falling in Calgary, sidewalks are getting slippery. As funny as it sounds, to avoid a fall, walk like a penguin!

*Bend slightly & walk flat footed

*Point your feet out slightly like a penguin

*Keep your centre of gravity over your feet as much as possible

*Watch where you’re stepping

*Take shorter, shuffle-like steps

*Keep your arms at your sides (not in your pockets)

*Concentrate on keeping your balance

*Go S-L-O-W-L-Y
