Quick Hack to Fix Posture and Walking #Shorts

Quick hack to fix posture and walking technique. This simple exercise will help fix duck feet, anterior pelvic tilt, and slouching. Coordinate your upper and lower abs properly with the hip muscles to keep vertical posture. Most posture and walking issues are caused by improper coordination between the three elements of the core. This coordination is necessary also to walk correctly, reducing impact on the heel and keeping the joints properly aligned. When not done correctly, people develop problems like plantar fasciitis, patellofemoral syndrome, knee arthritis, hip arthritis, lower back pain, and a variety of other medical issues related to poor posture and walking technique.

This simple exercise uses a common Tai Chi position (Brush Knee) as the the starting point. The key is to maintain vertical posture with no forward lean in the initial position. The rear leg hip should be actively extended using the glutes. When the right leg is back, the upper abs are rotating forward on the right and the lower abs are rotating back on the right. The lower abs on the right also tuck the pelvis on the right. If you are tipped forward, you are probably not engaging the lower abs on the right.

This is a Walking Code exercise to help you fix your posture and walking technique. There will be a series of videos using simple exercises to help with the coordination of the three elements of your core.
