How to Improve Your Walking Coordination. Basic walking technique tips to improve your posture and walking coordination. Use you core properly to perfect your walking technique. Improve your conscious coordination by learning to transition from forward walking to backward walking. Most of us walk mindlessly, repeating movement patterns that we adopted at a very early age, with little knowledge of what we are doing. You can improve your conscious movement by practicing the proper technique for walking both forward and backward. Since we do not commonly walk backward, most people have not ingrained this movement pattern in their body memory. Learning it can reinforce good movement patterns and correct bad movement patterns.
