Getting Married?

A good walking gait is :

 

·  Being able to walk with your body and legs in alignment and with your pelvic girdle square.

 

You can check this by:

 

· Placing your fingertips on

      the bony point at the front of your hips. These should remain level and in the same plane while you walk.

 

· Your knees should be

      centered above your 2nd and 3rd toes the entire time you are walking.

To walk well, good posture is essential.

 

· Stand tall with your chin level as if you are being lifted by the hair.

 

· Stick out your chest but

      make sure you keep your ribs in.

 

· If you have a “sway” back

      lengthen your spine.   Without bending your knees push your bottom towards your heels, and you will feel your lower abs engage.

 

· If you have a “flat” back then do the opposite and stick your bottom out a little.

 

· “Soften” your knees – this

      means bend them a tiny bit - make sure you are not jamming them backwards

NOW THE ‘WALK’ 

 

· Gently squeeze your bottom muscles together.

 

· Relax one of your hips downwards (this will prevent a roll) allowing that knee to naturally bend, ensuring it is

      centered over the 2^nd toe.

 

· Lift the foot, squeezing your bottom muscles to ensure that you land the foot onto the heel and walk through the foot rather

      than shuffling it.

 

· Do the same thing with the other leg and voila! you are gliding down the aisle!
