This simple exercise will help you feel how to create power from your hips depending on the circumstance. Our glutes (hip extensors) and or iliopsoas (hip flexors) are used at different times to power each step we take. Keeping proper posture and alignment requires using the right muscles at the right time. This is easier said than done, and it is why so many people walk with a forward posture, pelvic tilt, or with duck feet. It also explains why so many people have a heavy heel strike and end up with joint problems that sometimes need medication, injections, or even surgery. Fixing or preventing these issues can be as simple as learning the right way to use your core, including your hips. If you are like everyone else, no one ever taught you this stuff. So here it is. This lesson is part of The Walking Code by Dr. Todd Martin. With The Walking Code, you will learn the various patterns of core movement that we all use, or should use, to walk and do other functions with proper alignment, improved fluidity, and lower impact on the joints.

Use these tips to help prevent back, hip, knee, ankle, and foot issues. Also use it to walk with more confidence and reduce your risk of falling.
