Last week, our habit of the week, was "let's walk a little differently". Push off from the back foot. How did you go?
This week's habit is much easier. Swing our arms while we walk.
We do naturally. The exciting part is the mechanical advantage the arm swing gives us, costs almost no energy. It delivers an anti-torsion assistance. This means the arm swing switches on our core muscles in such a way that we can leverage the hitching of the leading hip.
Note - when we walk, we have to lift the hip of the leading leg, so that we don't stub our toe as we step forward.
Take another look at last week's You Tube "Better Walking" Here is the link
The human body is amazing
