Very thorough explanation. I was seeing a physical therapist and never received any explanation of the “why” behind the exercises or practices he was instructing me to do. Thanks!

When I stand, my knees are aligned over ankles, but when walking and I swing the leg forward, if I try to keep my knee straight (while it’s in the air before my heel makes contact) my ankle will be turned out. Is this a sign of tibial torsion or a hip issue?

Really informative video. Thank you!

Love from Pakistan ❤❤

Miss me with this absolute nonsense dude. Those playground wood chips were not the "best you could do" for simulatong a paleolithic forest environment 😂😂 This is an insane take. You might have noticed there are no sharp rocks, thorned foliage or even dried out branches laying around like you would otherwise find in a wild enviornment. That is because you are standing inside of your local city park to film this video. -An area that is maintained with the intent of keeping you, your kids and your dogs from getting unnecessary injured while playing and walking around. You could have even just walked through an area of the park that isnt maintained but you didn't even do that because you're CLEARLY being deliberately obtuse. As if no one would notice too 😅

Bond is a sexy walk ... Shelby is a bad boy walk

Can u do a breakdown on how shelby walks From the front his arms seem going outward but from back it doesnt

Heel to ball and use hips. 🙏

ruclips.net/video/8Z8244-TWKQ/видео.htmlsi=yt-xe553Cj6Du81L Great vid Dr! Thank you! Who walks better Manning or Sanders?

As a dancer, most lately Argentine tango, you're analysis resonates. Walking well is not as common or easy as people would expect--my experience instructing people in dance revealed that to me. I'm watching one of my children struggle mightily with weight transfers and your channel is so helpful. To get juniors aware of their leg/core/movement for sports, what would you recommend?

I want a video like this ❤

I tried both methods and I noticed the heel strike is slightly more efficient. However, I typically get 10k steps in daily and I noticed some bad knee pain after walking this way, regardless of how soft I landed. Forefoot feels more natural for me.

This is really useful for acting and cosplay, thank you!

I am not sure how to activate the lower and upper abs. Do you mean swinging the hips toward the side with the leg in front ?

I have a habit of locking my knees when walking and standing. This really helps but I do have to think about or I with over straighten my knees. I am not sure how I got into this bad habit.

The idea of lazy walk did sink in the last century. Modern West 30% is fat and people strarted to walk to loose weight. That is WHY we do not need anymore the heel strike walking gate. We need more active action for our feet, which is forefoot strike with muscles actively absorbing the shock! Think about this people. You will burn calories, you will train your core, glute and calf and you cannot over train when you are in the sandals like Luna or barefoot. Because you gonna use so much muscles you did not before! I lost my weight recently and so happy about it🫶

22:15 less calories: yes, sleeping is also less calories than walking. Quicker: if this quick heel strike walking you can record a video that you do it in the asphalt - I will watch and feel pain for you. What is very good about MD way teaching a “proper shod walk” is that this way is less hurting the heel when walking. But as we all now suffering from low active life, we DO NOT NEED LAZY WALK, we need to ACTIVATE the knees, the low abs , the glute when we walk. It’s already so small amount of time in the day in the most civilized people now. So we NO NEED LESS CALORIES AND LAZY WALKS.

29:23 here MD is proving that “walking” (in his understanding) mechanic is a special activism created be shod civilization. This “walking” exactly was not exist when people where hunting in long distance activity following the animals… Another point MD is missing. The terrain is always terrible. If they would heel strike on it they would not be able TO TAKE OFF THEIR FEET from the dangerous surface.

Contradiction number 1: all the million people walked on the heel right, so it’s the right way to do. But there is only the correct way how to do it : “the way how MD saying”. So how all those millions of soldiers are handling their kilometers? Without RUclips… and a class how to bump properly your heel?… So they did all knew how to do it right, without RUclips. Point number 2: if the heel strike needs so much LESSONS how to do it right, when compare to it we have a forefoot which is naturally absorbing the shock without any lessons - why we here still needing the lessons how to heel strike. Forefoot landing is intuitively incredibly easy and shock absorbing. This discussion is so sacral - as nasal breathing in running 🤣🤣

Thankyou Thankyou!

You're the man, Todd

Hello Doctor, I know my statement was lengthy, yet I was eager to know your thoughts on these air soles that are being imported. Back in 1980, I attended many conventions and demonstrations for hours on end, and the deerskin air soles were of great comfort. However, in the past two decades, the soles seem to throw me off balance while standing still, and then, once I walk around at the conventions, my knees tend to ache. I have a hard time finding shoes to aid me as I walk. I have tried many walking-type shoes. In addition, my foot size has increased from size 13D to a 14.5 WIDE-15EE. Have you found a comfortable walking shoe?, and also, what do you think about walking in work boots once I build up my ability to use a heavy shoe once more?

Hello, Todd Martin M.D. I have been eager to find effective methods to enhance my overall walking ability and endurance, as well as my balance. My strength, especially when walking up steps, seems to diminish as the years pass. I shouldn't laugh, but even my ability to step up 2-inch curbs after long drives, or to keep pace with others while shopping or walking into the mall or grocery store, has declined. I've been using a cane over the summer, yet my 2019 Ford SUV's engine and transmission mounts broke, leaving my car inoperable. I've resorted to using the train and bus systems, doing my best to improve my walking. Navigating the train station has become laborious. My knees ache, particularly the left knee joint, which is a bit unstable, but once I'm moving and my circulation improves, I fare much better. I am currently 70 pounds overweight, which is above my average adult weight, but since July, I have lost 30 pounds. Metformin was prescribed to protect my liver from the effects of a pain medication, Ibuprofen 800mg, which I took about 10 years ago and believe it began the decline of my muscle strength and stamina. Consequently, I ceased all medication after six months. My question is: with proper walking techniques, should we be able to increase our stride and improve our walking ability and balance? As mentioned, I have been using my cane to enhance balance and assist with navigating high curbs. I am considering joining Planet Fitness to utilize mechanical weights and stair-stepping equipment..In conclusion, I would like to add that I was raised in the greater Los Angeles area. My parents couldn't drive; my father was a war veteran, and my mother had been left with a fear of driving after an accident in her childhood. Therefore, we often walked 2 to 10 miles around town during weekends and after church on the Sabbath. I became accustomed to walking or taking the bus, and the only issue was that the world moved much faster than our modest means of transportation. This is why I believe that health issues in the USA are as much, if not more, a result of a lack of daily exercise than diet. Although I do believe that a Sunday pot roast, along with starch, vegetables, fruits, and plenty of water, is essential in our diet. People don't walk; they don't drink water, they drink soda. Observe the average ballplayer during a break, drinking a liter of delicious water, regardless of the weather.

Loved it!

In an earlier video of yours I disagreed with your concept of pulling. I still do but I feel that your concept of pushing is only what people like Grown and Healthy have preached. I believe the foot should stay pretty much perpendicular to the shin. We should not be pushing with calf. I think we should be pushing with the quads as opposed to pulling with the hamstrings. If you try this you will find like I have that this feels much more natural than any other method.

I just will add the beautiful comment of another person which says it all: The "standard human walk" should apply the same FOREFOOT-STRIKING technique as forefoot jogging/sprinting, just with less power. As an Engineer and amateur athlete, I believe that striking like this makes no mechanical sense at all, but is rather a method that prevents our poorly designed shoes from hurting our toes. Only once you take off the shoes do you realize how this is just a way of hammering your heel onto the floor with a locked-out leg. However, if we land on our forefoot-midfoot, then the impact is absorbed by the foot-arch (which flattens), by the flexible achilles tendon, by the toes (which splay) by the calves, and most of our leg muscles; and then the energy is released on take-off, with a spring-like effect. No amount of cushioning on the heel of the shoe is better than not hitting the heel against the floor in the first place.

1980s: Future of flying cars Me in 2024: Learning to walk

I have high arches and suffered from debilitating plantar fasciitis that later turned into plantar fibromatosis. I had to get radiation therapy and a series of painful injections in the feet to reduce the pain. I was always a heel striker, even when running. I clearly did not know how to run. Later, I got a curved treadmill to lose weight and developed a bad case of greater trochanter pain syndrome that required injections in the hip bursa, shockwave therapy, and rest. I then began consuming every you tube video on proper walking technique. From what I can figure out about me and how I walk, I was over-striding on the treadmill and heel striking enabled this. I then began experimenting with a mid foot strike on the treadmill, landing on the outside of the foot and rolling in to push off the balls of my feet and toes. So far, the pain has stayed away. When I walk with shoes with cushioning or heels, I naturally heel strike. When I walk barefoot, I mid foot strike. This suggests to me that a midfoot strike is instinctive and natural but modern footwear allows us to force ourselves to walk in a way that accommodates a heel strike. when I had to go barefoot all day and was heel striking, I got bruised on the bottom of my heels before I started to midfoot strike to accommodate the pain. Dr. Martin suggests that the pain I experience from heel striking is due to me not knowing how to walk correctly and I would agree 100% My own uninformed opinion is that it is because I am over striding on the treadmill but I could be wrong. However, the midfoot strike on the treadmill is keeping the bursitis in my hips at bay so far. As I ramp up the amount of time I spend on the treadmill, it might come back. I would like to have a gait analysis done but it is very expensive here and not covered by my insurance.

BEST WAY TO HURT YOUR FEET!

Worst video to advise this heel strike !…

Former marathoner here-no serious runner lands on their heels, since this would be putting a brake on your stride. Many speak of landing just after the heal and rolling to the forefoot. I strike probably a little more forward than that. If you are walking down hill, you really see the advantage of a forefoot strike, bc hitting heel firs would just jar the body. Forefoot landing distributes the load so much better. You shout also have much shorter strides and quicker turnover both downhill and uphill running.

Dr When we are walking we should move our leg forward from the hip, is that it?

Ok, so to clarify, rotate upper waist to place the heel down, then tuck with the lower abs, and then use the hip flexors on the standing leg and then use the hip flexors on the rear leg? Or are the hip flexors on the standing leg used during the tuck phase

Ok, I’ve watched several videos by you Dr. Martin explaining heel walking as well as others that say mid/forefoot is the better way. I naturally walk on my mid/forefoot regardless if I’m barefoot or not. I’ve been trying to implement this heel walking but how exactly to know if I’m doing it right? What signs would suggest that its wrong or right? I notice when I’m barefoot if I walk with heel first, I almost find myself stomping a little, then I try to soften the heel which is harder than what it seems. Any tips would be great!

This is probably a silly question. Does the posture during walking improve automatically if carrying a heavy bucket in each hand?

very helpful. I also started rucking and that has forced me to analyze my walking as it often feels inefficient. Thx!

I know you practice Tai Chi and dance tango but, man, I'd love to see you dance West Coast Swing.

Should I shorten the step length or reduce the cadence to walk slower?

Good video. Age 69, male, I missed out on the deportment training they gave in schools, mainly to girls. My mother was always on about walking properly as she had to do a lot of it as a nurse in Liverpool blitz and afterwards. I walked fast but not like she meant. My father was posted from Wales to Northern Nigeria in 1940. The regimental badge for the Royal West African Frontier Force was an image of their ability as bearers - they carried heavy loads on their heads, not in rucksacks on their backs. They were sent to the war in Burma and Northeast India where much of the terrain was jagged jungle covered mountains with wide rivers in many valleys (like tropical Norwegian fjords) until they got to the flat lands of Burma. The African regiments ability to lope smoothly was easy to distinguish from distance and was extremely efficient - they were not bearers of equipment for other units but were active front line troops themselves in an army that was mostly from the Indian subcontinent with some European origin British, Australian, South African troops. In terrain where roads didn't exist, soldiers had to carry everything themselves and rely on supply drops from the air. My father learned fluent Hausa as the operating language of the regiment. They used mules to carry the really heavy mortar gun parts. The old deportment training in UK included walking with a few books on your head and turning around while not letting them fall off. The West Africans carrying goods on their heads had a similar effect. It is not as fast as the purposeful striding that most of us use to walk fast but it is smooth, less damaging to other parts of the body, and safer as you don't stub your toes and trip over due to lifting your feet and toes properly... and much easier to walk another 20+ miles the next day.

After fixing my duck feet my shoulders no longer have any pain,. thanks! But for some reason a week after my right side of the hip started having a bit of pain though

Informative and useful information .

My feet isn't turned out , it's straight forward , my body sway side to side. (unstable pelvis ( due to Bilateral gluteal muscle weakness ) . Do you think glutes , pelvis and knees are the reason why I am walking wrong ???? I am trying to figure out how to walk normal.

This doesn't work for those suffering with sciatica and other similar symptoms.

Is this going to help for Waddle Gait / Myopathic Gait ??

Very beautiful vlog🌱Thank you for always going above and beyond!!!🍀

Thank you Dr Because i suffer with my back And i know that walking is good

Good morning sir

Thank you Doctor Martin. I sort of understood this concept and this video is makes it so much more clear. Amazing. As you were demonstrating the "push" it made me think of "putting my hip" into a punch. Then later you mentioned TKD. Your explanation is so thorough, so easy to understand. Can't thank you enough.

Todd Martin MD, you're killing it with your content

If “Bring it on baby!” was ever captured in a walk Denzels got it 💯 Whilst other stars walk like they’re walking to the gallows 😂
