Forefoot vs Heel Strike Walking Debate-Grown and Healthy vs Todd Martin MD

Forefoot Strike vs Heel Strike Walking Debate with Mark Hendriks from Grown and Healthy vs Todd Martin MD from The Walking Code. This debate was put together and moderated by Jared K from Primal Health and features two of the most prominent voices on YouTube on the subject of optimizing health by improving walking technique. Almost everyone walks heel first, but there is a growing number of people advocating that forefoot first walking would be the more healthy and natural way to walk. The Grown and Healthy Channel is the most recognized voice advocating for forefoot walking as the healthy alternative to heel strike walking. He debates Todd Martin MD, who also recognizes the health hazards of poor walking technique, but believes the solution is learning how to walk properly with a heel strike, not changing the nature of walking from the way it has always been practiced by virtually everyone on earth for millennia.

This is an unedited debate. I will be posting shorter clips with some additional rebuttal in the near future. I greatly appreciate Jared for setting up this debate. I believe the different and contradictory messages offered on YouTube can be very confusing for people trying to improve their walking technique. Thanks to Mark from Grown and Healthy for participating in the great discussion. Both participants are very knowledgeable, but have come to different conclusions regarding the solution to the problems of poor walking technique that lead to a variety of medical conditions, like plantar fasciitis, fallen arches, bunions, hammertoes, knee pain, hip pain, and back pain.
