Turns out there's a lively debate about what glutes do in walking. When the front heel hits the ground we see max glute contraction on that side (in treadmill studies). And I was taught that the glutes contract once the back leg travels behind the pelvis (hip extension) but treadmill studies don't show it. However, I wouldn't expect treadmill studies to show that, since you don't really extend your hips when walking on a treadmill. My personal experience is that I can feel a reflexive glute contraction when I walk so it's my belief that they do some type of contraction in full hip extension (the leg behind).
Does the glut from the leg behind contract while walking? Thanks for ur great content

@@PetraFisherMovement thank u very much for ur time and answer! :)
Oooh that does feel weird! Where did we learn the basics? BBF program? I'm still on assessments 😳
yep, this one's in the Alignment section. Gotta get you past the assessments! Seriously, just skip them if they're holding you back!
The feet look pigeon toed. That doesn't seem right.? Am I missing some info?
Is it possible that you're just really used to seeing feet that are slightly turned out?
maybe that's it. Thanks for sharing your knowledge! @@PetraFisherMovement
Our toes actually move quite a bit depending on how we walk so once our feet get straight , our toes usually follow :)@@loriwilliamson5738
