How to Walk (Extremely Difficult)

Step 1: Keep your back straight and your head held high.

Good walking posture will help you avoid injury and walk for longer. When you start walking, stand up straight, and look about 15 ft (4.6 m) in front of you. Keep your chin parallel to the ground, and move your shoulders naturally as you swing your arms.

Step 2: Walk heel to toe.

When walking, you should step forward with your foot. Let your heel land on the ground in front of you. Then, roll your foot forward, transferring your weight to the ball of your foot. With your other foot, raise your heel, push your foot off the ground with your big toe, and repeat the first process.

Step 3: Avoid hyperextending your knee:

Hyperextending your knee means moving your knee backwards slightly when standing or walking. Some people may have a natural tendency to hyperextend their knees, but hyperextending your knee can cause increased stress to your joints. When walking, be conscious of your knees to avoid hyperextending them.

Step 4: Take quick, not long, strides.

When most people think of walking quickly, they often imagine themselves stepping in long strides. However, taking too long of a stride can hurt your lower back over time. Instead, take small, quick steps to pick up the pace.

• Swing your arms with a slight bend in the elbows if you want. Tighten your stomach muscles, and don’t arch your back forward or backward.
• Walking is different from running. Your feet should never lift off the ground completely at the same time.
• Maintain a slight bend in your knee when walking, especially if you're prone to hyperextending your knee when standing. This will feel strange at first, but eventually your knees will adapt.
• Since we all have legs of different lengths, our strides are going to be somewhat different. Use the stride that’s best for you.
