How to Walk-Fix Common Walking Mistakes (Myths Busted)

How to Walk-Fix Common Walking Mistakes. Practice this movement pattern to improve the way you walk. Correct comment mistakes like heavy heel strike, duck feet, leaning forward, and anterior pelvic tilt. Learn how to use your core muscles in your abdomen and hip to walk smoothly with proper alignment of your spine and lower impact on your joints. It is important to correct walking mistakes as early as possible because the lead to wear and tear on the joints that can cause plantar fasciitis, knee arthritis, chronic back pain, and more. IF you notice your heel strike is loud, or if you have recurrent pain in your feet, knees, hips, or back that was not the result of an injury, you likely have issues with your walking technique that can be corrected. If you watch just one walking technique video this year, you aren't watching enough of my walking technique videos. You should watch all of them, but this video will really help getting you moving in the right direction. If you can practice these simple tips, you should be able to walk more comfortably, more fluidly, and with more confidence. This video shows how to walk for men and how to walk for women. The technique in the core should be the same.

I will also dispel some common myths about walking correctly. Do you have Dead Butt Syndrome (gluteal amnesia). No you don't. Your glutes did not forget how to fire. You are just using the wrong pattern of core movement to walk, and you can fix it by correcting the pattern, just like learning a dance.
Should you squeeze your glutes to walk correctly? No. Squeezing muscles just creates unwanted and unnecessary tension. Why would you want to be tense when you walk? You should learn how to flow, not tense up. Is heel strike bad for you? If you watch the most popular YouTube videos on how to walk, you would think that there was a consensus that people should not walk with a heel strike. Don't believe your lying eyes. Everyone you see walks with a heel strike, so you should be very skeptical when someone on YouTube is telling you that everyone in the world is doing something wrong. Heel strike is normal, but many people do it incorrectly. I will show you in this video how to place the heel properly so you do not hurt your joints or your back.

Learn the correct pattern of core movement to perform three critical phases of gait. How to place the heel properly. How to bring down the forefoot with low impact and proper alignment (loading response). How to generate the correct movement for the swing phase of gait (early stance and midstance).
