Walk correctly, with the upper body straight, no part of the body exerting too much force, and the mood is comfortable.
The steps are relaxed and the posture is heroic. Easier said than done. The following is a summary of the correct moves
into five key points. What is important is that the five aspects of action should be coordinated into one action. The five movements
As a whole, form the action of walking. The most basic thing is to stretch the waist. If the waist is bent, it will not be able to support the weight properly and the upper body will not be able to stand upright. The other five points are derived from this.
The upper body is stretched
The upper body is straight, the chin is extended forward, the head is raised, and the shoulders are stretched back. In this way, the spine is straightened, and the abdomen rises and falls slightly when breathing lightly.
When you walk in this posture, you will feel like you are walking with your chest and waist. Because when walking, the chest and
waist protrude slightly forward. This posture is different from the straight upright posture like a stick. It requires the upper body to lean forward slightly and make a rustling sound when walking. Going this way not only looks good, but also makes sense.
First of all, protrude your chin, raise your head, and have full strength. At this time, it was like there was a rope hanging from the top of my head, and the thread seemed to be several meters long. In this way, you can concentrate on one point and your energy will naturally be strong.
Secondly, pull your shoulders back so that your lungs can take in more air. Starting from this point, we can see that walking is a sport that can last for a long time. There is no reason to say this. Because the shoulders are pulled back
, the hands can move a lot. swing. It should be pointed out that even if the shoulders are pulled back, do not pull them back intentionally with
force, but pull them back naturally. After the spine is straightened, the posture of the whole body can be adjusted and the body can be kept stable. No matter how hard you walk, use this posture.
The abdomen rises and falls slightly when breathing lightly. This indicates that the abdomen is in a state of mild tension. This can reduce the burden on the waist from the organs in the abdominal cavity.
Last point, when walking, your chest and waist will feel slightly lifted forward. This is helpful for taking long steps, and the legs have the feeling of rebounding from behind. This posture looks cool when walking and is easy to maintain.
Straighten the knees
Spreading the knees is not stiff or inflexible, but allows the straightened knees to walk without force
The knees straightened and the steps became longer. You must straighten your knees when taking long strides. As for how big the stride length is, it should make you feel comfortable.
There is a trick to straightening your knees. When you straighten your knees and walk, your upper body leans forward slightly, as if you are about to fall. Kick off the back legs so that the knees of the front legs naturally straighten and the steps become longer. In addition, when the front foot steps forward, the waist on the same side also seems to move forward, and the waist and legs must cooperate effectively. When walking, your thighs should drive your calves, your knees should be straight, and your stride will be wider.
With the knees stretched out, the upper body will naturally remain upright and the speed will be released. This is the reason for straightening your knees
. If your knees are bent when walking, only part of the muscles in your legs will work.
You will easily feel tired and your legs will quickly lose strength.
Land the heel first, and then shift the body's center of gravity to the toes.
When the front foot touches the ground, the heel lands first, and the body's center of gravity falls on the heel. Then, the body's center of gravity
"rolls" from the heels through the soles of the feet toward the toes, and finally reaches the toes. In fact, when someone walks, the center of gravity of the body immediately shifts from the heels to the toes. There are also people who walk on their toes like this.
It is a special situation such as ballet.
There are a few things worth noting about the roll of the body's center of gravity from heel to toe. First, the heel strikes the ground.
It does not mean that the heel bears all the weight, nor does it mean that the heel strikes the ground hard. If you press hard, it will shake your head.
When practicing, do not raise your hips, bend the knee joint of your back leg, and then swing it forward naturally. In this way, only the heel of your front foot touches the ground. "High leg" walking with your thighs raised consumes too much energy and is not one of the natural walking methods currently advocated.
It should be emphasized that the heel does not bear all the weight, and the body's center of gravity moves smoothly
under the entire sole of the foot. The moment the front foot touches the ground, the back toes kick out at the same time. The movement of the body's center of gravity is a matter of course.
Therefore, the point of supporting body weight is not the heel, but the area near the base of the big toe of the rear foot.
Step your feet straight forward
Stretch your upper body, straighten your knees, and move your feet forward naturally when walking. In this process, the key
is to straighten the back leg. Straighten your legs, straighten your knees, and step forward with your front foot naturally.
Step forward with the front foot, so that the inner footprint of the foot forms a straight line. Generally, people always feel that
the toes are somewhat pointed outward.
Sometimes in order to pursue speed, it is necessary to point outward. Some people
walk slowly with their toes pointed outwards, commonly known as splayed feet, which makes walking more stable.
The movement of the front foot forward is related to the shift of the center of gravity of the rear foot. When the heel
touches the ground, the center of gravity of the body rolls on the entire sole of the foot, moving from the heel to the toes. The back foot kicks out with the first, second and third toes as the center, forming the movement of the front foot stepping forward.
The rest of the foot plays an elastic role, making walking smooth and smooth. As you take longer steps
, you will be able to master the key to walking with your head held high and in rhythm.
By the way, let’s talk about the “crab walk”. This is when the toes are turned outward, the outside of the heel touches the ground, and the inside of the big toe kicks the ground. In addition, it is characterized by bending over, bending the knees, hunching the back, and not moving the feet
directly forward.
Swinging your arms
Swinging your arms is also very important for walking. You often see some people walking with their hands in their pockets
This is the wrong move. When you walk like this, your shoulders are tucked in and you walk loosely. How well the arms are swung
also depends on whether the movements of the hands and feet are synchronized. Because in the action of walking, there is a close relationship between hands and feet, or
arms and legs. The movements of the arms and legs are also related to each other. Step forward with your right foot and swing your left hand forward. Among them, especially when the knees are straightened and the feet are stepped forward, the arms will naturally swing out corresponding to the movements of the feet.
If you swing wider than your shoulders, your knees will bend easily. When swinging, it is better for the thumb and fingers to seem to be touching but not touching the clothes. When there is no force, the elbow part naturally extends and folds when the arm swings.
Recently, a popular training method in the United States is called "exercise walking". This trend has also spread to Japan.
Its characteristic is that the arms should be swung to 90 degrees, the hips should also swing from side to side, and the energy should be full. I
think the natural swing is better. The "sports walking" in the United States may be suitable for training, but there are many human factors. Regardless of its advantages and disadvantages on flat ground, at least this method is not feasible everywhere.
Therefore, it is better to swing your arms naturally.
The above breaks down the correct walking movements into five aspects and explains them one by one. The key is to unify the five movements into one walking movement.
Follow these instructions and you will walk correctly,
