DThis activity is not appropriate because it stretches muscles not used in the exercise.
Simply walking is not enough to properly warm up the quadriceps, hamstrings, calves and hipflexors.
He needs to do traditional warm-up exercises such as high knees. He also needs to do a brief stretch of his hamstrings, quads, and calves for at least 30 seconds each to prevent injury.
