Warm up before walking workout important? what kind of warm up should i do?

Warming up: Warming up helps prevent injury. A good way to warm up for a walking workout is simply to walk at a less intense ( more leisurely) pace for the first 10 minutes. A light sweat means your body is warmed up. Warming down at the end of your workout helps prevent stiffness.

Yes: Warming up before exercising has been shown to be important by activating the muscles that you are intending to use therefore reducing injuries. Warm up for walking can include stretching exercises.
