Step 1: Standing

Walking begins with a very simple that most people can do with ease. Caution: walking should not be attempted for children under the age of 9 months old or adults over 116 years old, if over the age of 116 years please contact the Guinness Book of World Records immediately.

First, stand up. Achieve this by propping up against something very stable such as a couch or chair. Once upright and standing let go of the object that is holding you up and try to balance. For some this step may be the hardest part, but it shouldn't be too difficult. Trying to balance isn't easy at first, so make sure something stable is easily grab-able in case of loss of balance.

Hey, thanks, this comes at just the right time as my 8-month old daughter's just starting to figure this stuff out. I'll print these out and give 'em to her! ;-)

This reminds me of instructions on how to walk that I found in a book once ("The complete guide to walking and running" or something). Is awesome :)

Interesting read. Since a young age after a soccer injury I started walking (whilst in bare feet) on the ball of my feel inside of heel to toe. After a while my tendons shortend and now I never place my heels on the ground while walking without shoes.
