how to walk correctly
A typical health method would be walking.
Would it be unreasonable to say that busy modern people can keep health by walking?
Many people are walking hard in various places such as the Han River, Yangjaecheon, Tancheon, and the recently created Dullegil. People who have become more interested in diet and health as the so-called well-being trends have been found for quite some time, are determined and set aside time to “walk” leaving home.
Well-known doctors and people who study how to keep healthy appeared in the broadcasting media and explained how to walk, saying that when you walk, you have to touch your foot from the heel to the ground, and move the center of gravity toward the center of the foot and toes while walking. Also, shoes that claim to help the Maasai walk in this way have been released.
It's not that these steps or products are wrong. In a natural gait, everyone walks touching the foot from heel to the ground. It seems too much to emphasize these movements and postures to such an extent that it is a fuss.
And, you can see women who are interested in the so-called power walking method for a diet. This is to walk with your elbows at a right angle, with your upper arms raised so that they are level with the floor, and vigorously swinging your arms back and forth. The groin of the hind leg is naturally stretched and the waist is also straightened while walking. By walking like that, you can consume a lot of energy and have the effect of weight loss.
However, when going to work, walking on the road, or talking with people while walking like that, it is both embarrassing and ridiculous. So, although it is a good exercise method, it is not easy to apply it in a daily life, and it seems to be possible only when walking along the Han River, Yangjae Stream, and Tancheon, as mentioned above.
In fact, you can strengthen the lower back while producing the same effect as power walking if you change a little the way you walk.
When you walk, imagine that you are walking on your hind leg, rather than focusing on your front leg. When walking, if you step on the front leg while pushing the ground with your hind leg, you can walk while fully extending the groin of the hind leg, regardless of whether the stride is wide or narrow.
If you walk like that, your front heel will naturally touch the ground first, and you will be able to straighten your back and chest, and since the movements are not awkward, you will be able to exercise in your daily life by walking properly anywhere, anytime to lose weight and fix your slouching lifestyle.
Here is a summary of correct walking :
• First, align your feet like a shape of character 11.
• Second, while pushing the ground with your hind leg, straighten your groin and knees, and naturally push your upper body.
• Third, forcefully push back the hind leg and the opposite arm while straightening the elbow to add natural momentum to the walking motion.
• Fourth, at the same time, let the front leg move forward and naturally shift the weight toward the foreleg.
• Fifth, the weight shift of the foot is in the order of 'heel - ball of big toe - big toe - whole toes'.
In addition, walking while fully stretching the groin can also be expected to improve the disease caused by poor blood supply to the lower body, and will also significantly alleviate various pains caused by incorrect posture.
