How can drag be reduced while walking?
Drag is caused when there's resistance.... you vs. the wind. To reduce drag, wear tight clothing. Ever noticed how swimmers wear the tightest swimsuits they can, and put their hair in a cap? It's to keep the water from catching on their suit or hair. That's drag. The same is true for walking, running, or biking (although you'd look pretty foolish walking around in a swimsuit, of course!)
