Yeah I’ve been in minimalist Altras for 9 months. Still getting over alot of the daily aches and pains. My gait has been super messed up from my old shoes and I’ve also been working to correct it. Something so simple such as not having a bent left knee when pushing through the stride on that side, while my right leg is correct and straight when pushing through on the right side. I can feel a nice stretch in my left calf as I focus on my gait
Give glute activation a shot if you haven't yet, when I go to failure on bodyweight single leg hip thrusts my gait feels great! Walking to music can also help
I have been using my legs incorrectly all this time. Good that I found you. Doctors never told me this, they are interested in constant flow of patients it seems
What I think about this is professional services are injury specific and highly restrictive and financially draining. Lifestyle services are progressive and centred towards improvement and growth.
Everytime I watch your videos, I am absolutely astonished by how much I learn. I can't get used to how PACKED your videos are. I love it! They're informative, straightforward and easy to follow. I don't think there's a channel like this on RUclips. Thanks so much for uploading videos like this!
Im 22 y/o and people have been making fun of me for walking all over from school to clg , but I will be going on my internships soon but I dont want others to call me joker from the very first day , now its 3.29 AM in india and Im practicing this while everyone is asleep in my home , trying my best
One thing that helped me with my trailing leg was to concentrate on flexing the glute. It helps propel my center of gravity forward making it easier to land on the forefoot instead of the heel. It also helps stretch my hip flexor by keeping my trailing leg on the ground for just a moment longer. This then helps with posture and standing taller because the hips are rotated to a better position. It give me the sensation of gliding over the floor as opposed to bouncing across the floor.
Hey, I just wanted to thank you for making these videos. When I was younger I never thought much about my slightly unusual walk, but as I got older I began to develop a variety of chronic pains. This included mostly ankle pain but also back and shoulder pain. I did a deep dive into how I was walking with your videos and within only a couple days most of my pains and knots vanished. This included a knot I had in my shoulder for 15 years, which was crazy that it was gone by day 3.
I've been wearing barefoot shoes for nearly a month and i love them. I also work shifts where I'm walking 6 or 8 hours a day. I'm amazed at how different my feet feel and how much i use my toes now.
MY currently hypothesis for walking is uphill walking the most natural model for everyday walking. The feeling of pulling yourself forward with your leg muscles as oppose to sliding on heels or bouncing on toes seems very correct to me, and the foot landing is natural. Although a mild cultural barriers is its hard to walk quietly like this due to the. light stomp as oppose to other methods. Necessary and worthy trade in my opinion.
Didn't even know I did this until people mentioned it when I was like 16. Haven't gotten rid of it completely still. I do have insanely muscular legs and butt though, so that's nice
As I've been walking the way and amount you recommended in the videos and your comments, I realized I was peeling my heel more supinated. It feels more natural. My left foot is a little more flat than my right. Also, I realize when I scuff my shoe on the ball of my foot I'm still trying to bring my foot too far forward. Instead I focus on simply planting my foot. Then I feel the windless mechanism and the natural flow to put everything together.
I Have hypermobile joints and chronic pain. I've been really taking a look at correcting muscles imbalances and brining my joints where they should be. The tibialus muscle you highlighted here is where I've really been feeling strain after a while while trying to not hyperextend while walking. I'm also tend to toe walk. Going to implement these exercises to help improve my gait and walking
l can't remember the name at the moment, but I used to have a bouncing gait that isn't uncommon in children with ADHD. It used to feel like half skipping half walking, it was very comfortable and quite fast, looking back it seemed linked to how upbeat my mood was. Years later I read an article on how a bouncing gait can be a very efficient method of locomotion.
Great connection! People that are toe walking have weak tibialis muscles. As of recently I have been using a cuboid bone strike which has taken the pressure off my calf muscles without going back to a heel strike.
3:02 I find it helpful to use an updated definition of "my core". I think credit goes to Katy Bowman (amazing biomechanist; you two should do a collab) for reclassifying the glutes and quads (or perhaps area between hips and knees?) as the human core, because those are the muscles that should primarily propel us in upright locomotion--which is what makes us humans.
Amazing video as usual! I love this channel. I have issues with gait and this is helpful. Do you have any recommendations or videos on duck feet and treating it?
Hi... i recently had a minor injury and I was walking fine until I started to notice my walking style isn't good. When I tried to correct it got more worse.. Now I am unable to walk at all
Do you have any recommendations for a flute imbalance/ inability to activate? One glute just refuses to fire, which makes me use different muscles while walking it feels like. I believe it has to do with my soleus muscle on that side not being able to fire correctly as well.
@@GrownandHealthy I was mistaken, not so much my soleus muscle but more my gastrocnemius medial near the top. I have been looking for over a year now and have found nothing on this. I get pain in my arch near the top almost where it connects to my ankle, and that same side glute doesn’t fire. Any help would be appreciated
I see you trolling. Why isn't your podiatrist against heeled, narrow and stiff shoes?!? Why do they only provide orthotics and surgery and never foot mobility, strength and patterns?!? Every one of your posts is damning indictment of the present day Podiatry.
I understand your point. hard, soled runners assist while many weaknesses are being addressed and strength and imbalances are sorted out. Since I stopped your technique- all nerve entrapment disappeared. I am still barefoot walking several times a week.
Just curious, can u tell how much time u spend training? U told in one video of yours that u do weight training 5 times a week, 3 times a week yoga, 3 times a week walking.. In a week how do u distribute these and how much time for each?
Actually my problem started when i was in 8th grade and realised that I'm shortest. Boy in my class thrn i discovered this technique and today i everyone make fun my walk 😓
If you're flat-footed, you mentioned we want to supinate, push off on the lateral side of the foot and not the medial? or directly on the actuall ball of the foot when walking? what about lunges and jump roping or jump squats?
Well, if you are flat footed, you already push from the Ball of the big toe, lifting the outer edge, first. Supination increases, once you start to straighten your feet, if you turn them inwards you will supinate more. So don't focus on independently supinating, focus on the alignment of the leg.
Sigh, that's me, I think I developed a very bouncy gait as a kid when I learned that cats walk on their toes in school...so of course I started walking on the balls of my feet, got used to it, and it just stuck all the way into adulthood.
Watched this all the way through and never saw him walk efficiently, with apparent confidence. Demonstrate the kind of walk you're talking about . . ? All the barefoot walking looks like he's afraid of stepping on something -
Can you make a video about standing? Let's say you need to stand for a long time, like several hours, perhaps making slight movements around (like a chef in a kitchen, surveying a site, etc). How should we stand? Slightly lean forward on our forefoot, knees bent? Relax on our heels? Is there a particular ideal movement or posture? Would appreciate if you could deep dive on this in a video :)
Perhaps, this is why "toe-walking" is considered a sign of autism. As autistic people are less inclined to automatically receive and imitate social cues and habits, shod walking included, they are more likely to continue to toe walk naturally and correctly.
I’ve been walking on my toes since I was born never had a problem with it but a lot of people gave me a lot of negative comments about the way I walk why is walking on your toes offensive it’s made me really emotional in my life now people being really cruel judging people for something they have no control over why should there be a standard or a certain way someone walks we are all human and should walk the way that god intended us to walk.
That's ok. I sometimes walk on my toes too, when I don't want to wake up anyone. ;) But when I take a stroll at up to 7,5 km/h - my heels touch (not hit) the ground first and I feel great. More speed than that and I would run.
God says all have sinned, but God so loved us that Jesus his son died for us and rose from the dead, if you believe in him and call upon him you will be saved and enter heaven (Roman 10 v 9-13). if say to him, Jesus, Forgive me my sins, Enter my life, I Receive you, Cleanse me and make me a child of God, Thank you Lord In Jesus name Amen. and your saved and will enter heaven, if your serious and want to learn about God comment on one of my videos or reply to this comment, and ill try get back to you when i see it.
I never would have thought i had to relearn how to walk!
It's been a year in minimal shoes and I still struggle to get my gait corrected and feeling natural . Thanks for the video man!

Yes. That is what I try to convey in my "Build Glutes while walking" video.
Yes, I feel like I'm gliding and doing the same things you describe. The windless mechanism he describes which has helped to put everything together.
Been following your technique for over a year. Absolutely life changing.
I'm Glad it helped!

Thanks!, your thorough and deep knowledge of anatomy and biomechanics is appreciated. May I ask what your professional background is?
Thank you very much! Personal Trainer.

Yes, it can be done daily...The progress will be faster, if done daily.

I will have a video addressing this. For most, it is a Hip/Psoas Issue.
@@GrownandHealthy awesome. Thank you!
@@daprophet9899 Is it your Left Glute?
@@GrownandHealthy it’s my right that won’t fire. I also had a meniscus repair on that side but not sure if that has something to do with it as well

Hi.
What about walking with a bunion pain.
Watched this all the way through and never saw him walk efficiently, with apparent confidence. Demonstrate the kind of walk you're talking about . . ? All the barefoot walking looks like he's afraid of stepping on something -
it doesnt really look natural on a side walk, but looks legit in the wilderness
