- The barefoot strike is a skill that needs to be learned and practiced.
Rhythm plays a large role in physical movement and especially in walking.
The rhythm needed to walk barefoot will differ from the rhythm need to walk in conventional shoes with a heel strike.

When I place my hand on my head while walking, I sense almost no vibrations reaching my head while forefoot striking, unlike the vibrations from heel striking. Hence I realised forefoot striking is the right thing to do! All my musculature effectively absorbing the ground forces.
It was difficult at the start but I am seeing exponential progress and forefoot strike walking. Thanks to this channel for bringing this awareness.
That is an excellent drill! Thank you, for sharing.
I swear, going barefoot a year ago changed my life. I just feel so much better, my legs are stronger (and look great honestly), my posture is better and my knees stopped hurting. Feeling more grounded has helped my mood also.
I’m just going to keep watching all of these till it really sinks in and I have the confidence to try this in places where I feel safe.
This should not look blatantly different. It is a nuanced approach can only be accomplished barefoot or with barefoot shoes.
10 years of hip pain gone now practicing your technique. I can’t thank you enough. Beautiful clear instructions.
Great! I'm glad to hear it has helped you.
@@GrownandHealthyI used to walk with heel strike and duck feet. I started to walk with forefoot strike and hips pain gone but i still have pinched pain on the inside of my knee. Do you know where is the problem? Can you help me?
This is extremely helpful! I can't wait to start walking normal again after a long time. Literally learning how to walk again. Thank you brother!
This presentation is ingenious. It seems like he is suggesting that our mental segregation between walking and running (or sprinting for that matter) are more a matter of degree (cadence/force production) than of kind, they all exist as a unified spectrum, and that there is a core technique / rhythm that can be glimpsed/felt/developed using drills like A and B skips... and it's not duck walking.This approach has the potential to create a paradigm shift within you... the video should have a warning label!
yes, that is exactly what he means. It's the same technique for all speeds, the only difference is power. With more power, the stride can be longer so you indirectly reduce cadence when it becomes too high to coordinate (180 steps/minute or 3 setps/second is the golden standard).
Just bought barefoot shoes. Cruising youtube to find good tips on how to relearn walking basically. Found your stuff helpful, thanks man
I've transitioned to barefoot (ie minimal shoe) running years ago, where I naturally became a forefoot (sometimes midfoot) runner. I never considered forefoot WALKING before this video.
its strange transitioning to barefoot shoes because if I'm actually barefoot its completely natural, like my body already knows its a bad idea to heel strike while barefoot, but when I put the shoes on it goes right back to the old way and I end up paying for it because there is no cushion anymore.
Your content is unique, insightful and potentially life-changing. I appreciate the time/effort you put into this to share your knowledge with others.☝🏾
A couch taught me heal running 40 years ago.
I watched your video 4 days ago and already I can go much further with starting to hurt or get winded.
I'm pretty amazed...Ty Ty 🙂
Explaining and demonstrating the rhythm of forefoot walking really helps to push past the initial awkward feeling those of us still transitioning have. Thanks!
Thanks! I'm glad you found it useful.
I’ve always hated running, just didn’t feel good haha I can’t wait to slowly start doing this! Maybe I’ll like running for the first time!
This series on walking has helped me enormously. Thank you.
Great to hear! Thanks for watching!
Thanks a lot for sharing!
Just the question I had and just the video you've made, thanks!
A great demonstration.I already feel the improvements. Thanks for your experience.
Thank you. Your content is excellent and I am a new subscriber. I'm almost 70 and I never realized that I was heal walking until a few months ago when I started developing really bad pains in my heels and ankles. I didn't know what to do about it until I watched your videos. I've been practicing and I already feel the benefit but admittedly a lifetime of bad habits will take me a little longer to overcome but I'm committed.
Thanks!
Excellent and very well presented 👏✊✊✊
Watching your clip walking actually looks like it is the right way! Even without explanation I don’t know, it just looks balanced and right
Great videos, sir!
man.. I love you
Yes, this is amazing! I've been in pain for many years now and this gives me hope!
I am feeling muscles that I haven't felt in a while. Good times!
Thanks a mill🙏🏻
Really fascinating. I started walking for mental & physical health about 45 years ago, and have practiced various forms of movement since. Until I discovered zero drop shoes, then the algorithm discovered me and recommended Grown and Healthy, I had not considered the heel striking first as an issue. I figured a smooth, fast gait, and some nice insoles was enough. :-)
Thank you for the enlightenment sir. This will be a challenge!
How can walk kneeauthritis patent?
Great presentation brother, it makes total sense to study the dynamics of walking, I’m consciously applying your advice and I feel my stride has improved, good job!
I appreciate that!
this is so helpfull thanks.
rythem change between body move and foot placement. heel strike = place foot in front then move body, fore foot strike = move body place foot under hip.
Thank you for the continued tips. It's been an amazing experience switching to forefoot walking.
Thank you! I'm glad you are finding these videos helpful.
I think you are brilliant.
So thankful that I have found your videos on walking, this is so helpful!
Listening to your talk path on heel striking made me think of walking on ice. If you heel strike, very high chance of slipping. Walk on your fore foot, you can walk safer. There was a video that said to walk like a penguin when on ice, body weight over you foot, not in between them.
This is exactly how I try to get myself to walk with more of a forefoot strike. Growing up playing hockey, you figure out how to move easily on ice in shoes. It is indeed a very similar mechanic if you can convince yourself that the sidewalk is a sheet of ice for the duration.
Quality video. Definetely helped me. Thanks
Vibram five finger shoes have changed my life. They forced me to change my walking rhythm and pattern. Great video, I learned a lot in 13 minutes. If I could like it twice I would.
Great info for dedicated mobility geeks like us Grown and Healthy subscribers! Thanks for this!
I thank you! For watching and subscribing!
this excersise really helps, Ive struggled with rythm for a while now
Great video! Love your walking videos!
Thank you for watching! I hope they have helped.
@@GrownandHealthy Yeah, they really have, but I still like have the feeling that my forefoot on the big toe side is just ,,falling into place instead of me placing it... makes my walk quite wobbly ^^

Very helpful
Another great video my brother!
Thank you for your support!
Lot of explanation given nicely.
May be also required to tell the point directly in conclusion like ....how to walk by keeping foot on the land: toe or heel or entire foot on the the land ?
Great video. Keep up the good work❤️
Thank you!!
What happens when we must wear conventional shoes?
Hii, would it be possible to make a video on leg length discrepancy? I have a 4mm difference in the femur and I put extra insoles in the shoe of my shorter leg. My physiotherapist is saying that this is the only solution to help with the discomfort I experience on one side of my back (the longer leg side). It has helped a lot, but I don't know if I can live like this for the rest of my life. I stopped walking barefoot. I wear barefoot shoes and sandals though. I glued an insole on my sandal to walk around with it at home. I have other problems with my spine and I'm still getting it realigned. If you have any info or advice you can share regarding this topic, this will be insanely appreciated. Thanks!
K class - Rhythm is a mystery
Interestingly, I need less correction with this because I really don’t like uneven worn shoes. Heel striking, for some, they wear out 1 corner of a sole at the heel and diagonally at the toe. I’m going to begin better form. Thanks so much!
Very helpful 👍
Thank you for watching!
🙏
Hi again! Another great video - thank you! I have a question I’m hoping you can help with - I’m heading to walk the El Camino De Santiago in a couple of weeks, and am hoping to do as much of it as I can barefoot. Unfortunately, I don’t have access to barefoot shoes for those parts of the walk that I can’t do barefoot. I’ll be wearing Teva Tirra sandals - not a lot of heel rise, but not barefoot style either. Can I still do the forefoot strike in these, or should i just focus on a softer heel strike while wearing these? Thanks so much!
HOW DOES THIS APpLY TO CONSTRUCTION WORKERS WITH STEEL TOED BOOTS?
cuz every time i start a new job after being off for more than a month, the first 4-5 weeks back at work my back aches so bad by friday im taking several ibuprofen and or tylenol a day.
Any ideas on how to find a barefoot walking coach?
Me.. coach@grownandhealthy.com
I am 56 years old man 18 months ago I had a stroke which impaired my ledt side. I am re-kearning to walk now. fro some reason, heel strike is coming to me more naturally - with both legs. I am unable to walk bearfoot yet, mainly because the toes in my lefy foot are curled due to spasticity an stepping hurts
I have been walking with barefoot shoes for about 8 months and I started doing this and idk how to keep the hips up. It seems like I’m either using so much of my calves to move and it makes my legs burn doing this for so long.
Please know that if you are a senior and overweight that barefoot walking even on the beach can be dangerous for the health of your feet if you overdo it. It took my feet a year to recover after trying barefoot walking after age 65.
thankyou for understanding... is skipping a good practise?
Yes, absolutely.
Does this also apply in northern countries, wintertime, in snow? 😅👍🏼
6:45 small exercise
i tried a little, tolookforward to learning the better or best way , but, now my calf feel strained and i was also hoping for comfort for my lower back , but, this feels strained too?!😮
Trying to teach my 56 year old mom this is really funny. She talks like this is alien, unnatural, she says it feels like shes a giant trying to lumber about.
Do you do any one on one virtual sessions? If so, how do I get started?
Yes, please contact me: coach@grownandhealthy.com
I think I have it...
1. LEAN forward.
2. LIFT leg with hip muscles.
3. LAND on the front outer edge of the foot.
4. LILT rhythmically.
What type of shoes should I wear for 10 hours at work? I am older than you and always on my feet. This is really helpful, thanks for the depth of knowledge.. 🙂💪💪
You could try these Birkenstocks, until I see a better alternative. amzn.to/3cMYFeZ
Over the past 4 weeks...2 pay periods in Sept, I replaced ALL of my boots (winter, hiking and fashion), sneakers, and dress shoes (heels and flats) with Xero shoes. Between that and these videos, the excruciatingly painful knee injury from Sprinting and speed walk training (100% positive a former heel striker) along with a great trigger /pressure point massage therapist, I have seemingly gotten my knee self rehabed...my mom still wants me to go to the doctor "just to see". I feel 1000% better! If you do try the Xero shoes, they have a 45 day exchange policy.
What about doing this with leg weights?
Lol youtube showed me an ad for “kizik” shoes before this video 😂🤦🏻♂️
This is so hard for me. I'm on my feet 8hrs a day in retail. I'm constantly walking but heel striking. With my switch to barefoot shoes the heel striking is causing me pain. This is hard to retrain my body it feels not natural even tho the heel striking is what should be not natural
Ok. Rather than pulling forward with a front foot that is in front of you don't reach the foot forward use your back foot to push forward if your front foot never goes in front of your hips you aren't reaching Forward your back foot has to push you forward. Okay also rather than swinging your front foot forward you just let it drop and then it doesn't reach you forward. The back leg is depended on almost completely. You start to use your foot and Arch more in the engagement of moving your body forward through that action of lifting your body up from your foot your back foot and then you disallow your front foot swing forward at a certain point you're going to start to swing your hips by twisting your back to increase range of motion and that is I think the barefoot walk without reaching your leg forward so if you don't swing your leg forward in front of your hips it's a barefoot walk and you're engaging your glutes and your arch of your foot that's fantastic. I'm starting to do this it looks ridiculous but I'm going to do more and more of it and I think it it really is helpful to refuse to push to allow your foot to come forward past your hips that was a very good key advice. I just started to include more of the twisting of my spine and I felt like an exotic cat walking that was very fluid motion. It feels really good not to swing the leg for it it kind of feels like you're limiting your range of motion but it's so much more forceful even though it seems like I'm limiting my gate because normally I had such a wide long gate before but I can feel the power of this gate. I guess if you think of a spring being spring loaded that is it it has to be able to retract a certain amount but if extends too far it loses its spring loadedness and that's what you do when you reach forward with your forward foot you lose power. You lose the spring load when you swing the foot and leg forward rather than moving from your spine twist and your back leg pushing. That is phenomenal!
Your foot will descend in front of your hips, but contact the ground below the hip..
The faster you walk, the more your pelvis will tilt.
Sir, I'm from Pakistan, 27 years old, v'been struggling from low back pain since 2018,plz help me
WARNING- I have just got back from a visit to the podiatrists after doing this technique for the last 4 months. And he said this technique is WRONG. Be very careful as you may develop several nerve entrapments like me from too much lateral overload.
Please do not come here with lies!
Then how do you survive running?!
Let him offer you more Orthotics, and your Podiatrist wears heeled conventional shoes.
Please offer advice on your own platform, better yet, provide us with a video on how to walk barefooot or in barefoot shoes.
I'll wait...
1. Keeping hips up - not sure I'm understanding this, I've been self-correcting an exaggerated anterior tilt since I had learned too much of anterior pelvic tilt creates low back problems and more. 2. Keeping the step under the body - I must practice all the time, and doing just this alone feels like something is missing. 3. Traction - I seek to feel that the forefoot push-off and the contraction of my butt is pushing me forward, rather than feeling like I'm pulling myself forward...in practice, this is a subtle thing. I don't know if I'll ever "get it". I'll try practicing skipping.
Sounds like you understand the feeling,, maybe you are doing it... Have you recorded yourself? Try that first.
As for APT, I have a video on this channel, about fixing that... Once you strengthen the Hip Flexors and lower Abs, that will take care of Anterior Pelvic Tilt.
Tilt is involved with different prolapses, so be careful not to do the wrong way which will increase your risk of developing prolapses (uterine, bladder, etc). Christine Kent (The Whole Woman) researched and has info about this, along with courses/lessons to help prevent and reverse.
I have knock knees 🥺. Can you please make a video on that? I wanna fix it.
I recommend Japanese Seiza as well as barefoot shoes. your knock knee is likely caused by your feet, and the seiza posture will help fix that.
@@KallutoZoldyck Thank you
@@ahmadalif2609 Yeah no problem, good luck to you, I myself am working on the seiza :D
@@KallutoZoldyck did you see any improvement?
@@ahmadalif2609 Improvements in these things can take a long time. It can take a year or two for ligaments to move more, and it takes a 20 minute stretch to loosen them as compared to 3 minutes for muscles. With knock knees, you're either weak in your foot, or tight and weak in your foot. Best of luck to you, if you want it enough, you will fix your knock knees. If you find it's not a weakness issue, you will need to do a lot of stretching over a longer period of time in order to fix them, don't give up.
This walk is extremely difficult to do but even the n regular shoes there lol s zero impact. It’s very slow and I feel it in a combination of body parts that I’ve never worked before together. It also feels correct & it works My body harder. Def adding this to my weekly training.
So, this is what I've learned so far:
1) Strike the foot at the outside of the front foot.
2) Land the foot directly under the hip.
That was probably my mistake up to now: While landing fore foot first, I still tried to land it in front of my hips. It did give my calves a good burning walking for 4-5km a day, though. I really hope this will cure my flat feet in the end
Ninja run
Think of your feet as hands, use them as if they were hands.
So, I’d tie my shoes with them?
@@01blaval I mean, that'd be awesome?
@@TheDavveponken I think I’d might have a problem with the second shoe…
@@01blaval Yeah I'd be stunned from doing the first one too
This is only day one of me in Barefoot shoes and it is odd to transfer but I think I get it for I only have shoes on for 5 hours a day and the rest I am barefoot even outside around the house so I walk like you barefoot but when I am in my shoes (aka today) on the walk to work and randomly at work I ended up heal striking but I would say 56% of the time I was walking “barefoot” so this helps to speed up the learning
Hey ! Thanks so much for your content. When walking like that, should my heel touch the ground or not all ?
Subtitulos en español por favor.
Thanks!
Thank You Very Much!!
