You have solved my year and a half battle with hip impingement pain in my right hip. I've tried every strength exercise and hip stretching I could find. Physical therapy failed me. Learning to walk properly solved my issue! I've heard many other gait specialists talk about using your glutes to walk but no one ever described quite how to do that until I viewed both of your videos on walking. Pausing that back heel for just a micro second and letting it propel your other leg forward and as a result engage your glute muscle was the secret for me. Suddenly my pelvis is also moving the way it should and my hip socket isn't jamming into my pelvis on every forward step. It baffles me to think my issue was actually the other leg not extending backward properly and overall poor gait. 'Thank you' barely represents how grateful I am. Now I can enjoy walking again and honestly, enjoy life.

My gait started to naturally correct itself when I started working on my posture. An externally rotated right hip, pronated right foot, weak tibialis/tight calves and a tight/weak thoracic and an overworked lumbar spine had me walking all kinds of f'd up. I had to learn how to activate my glutes and open my thoracic spine. Walking feels natural now and not like a task. Protip: invest in some barefoot shoes. The Altra Provision literally changed my life.

My problem is I don’t swing my arms ( I’m really tall so all throughout elementary school my long arms would hit others and teachers would hold them still) and I kick forward in a weird way. I don’t really actually think about the back part of my walk ( I have no idea why I am this way but it happened in eighth grade and has consistently got worse)

Could you make a video for walking when carrying extremely heavy weights such as a yolk or farmers carry? Obviously the stride length shortens. What other changes can be made to keep the muscles supporting the excessive loads during exercise and not the joints?

[@farshimelt]

Hold the weight close to your chest and support it with your body.

[@wicked1707]

I've never seen anyone swing their arms to the side when walking...

[@posturemakeover7165]

Example in the video is obviously an exaggeration. But about 90% of people swing their arms in front of their bodies (sideways) when they walk. I’ll bet that if you start looking for it, you will see it everywhere!

[@angelawilliams0428]

It's usually older women. Like on Downton Abbey, the woman who played Matthew's mother walks like that. You cannot miss it.

exactly...if your arms are going sideways, you are blocking yourself from going forward and will probably fall or trip over yourself...

I walk with my chest concave, shoulders forwards, arms for the most part still at my sides, and pelvis forward. I am a pretty girl, tall and thin... my walk and posture are atrocious. My mother has commented on my walk for years, i was made fun of in high school for it. I attended modeling school at the age of 15 and was recognized and commended for my ‘run walk walk’ as it was truly good and typical of what you would see on a fashion runway.. however my ‘model walk’ only came to when i was focusing on it. My natural walk is described as above and it embarrasses me daily. I hate that i cant remind myself to walk with poise and femininity on a regular basis.
