I am literaly, when i was first told literally to run heel to toe... and found out after 6 years in the army... thats not how you want to run. NO one TEACHES anyone how to properly walk.. we just hope to mimick it properly
Hello awkward walkers! You are not alone. We are in this together! Edit, after 3 years: My legs are bent as fuck but it does give me an advantage as a footballer for some reason. I was called "gay" when I was younger because of my awkward walk but it has definitely gotten better with practice. Just chew a gum or listen to music or just wear a sunglass to distract yourself when you are walking alone as it gets worse when you are conscious about your walk. Distract yourself from thinking about it by any way possible. If none of these exercises or distractions work , just walk super fast. It is my recent discovery and it works for me. Thanks for the 3.8k likes. It made me happy. Edit after 6 years: Still walking awkward but walking fast still helps a lot
Loss of body awareness could be the result of our busy lives! Sometimes, we just need to take a moment out of the day and embrace our proprioception. Thank you for viewing our channel and we're glad that we were able to help you in some way!
Same, it depends where I am. In the city I tend to crunch up, in the countryside it all comes naturally. It must be a psychological thing to do with the amounts of people present...
I am embarrassed about my unnatural, imbalanced walking styles for many years. Everytime i go outside i put a lot of effort on walking and that was exhausting. after learning this technique, it is the first time i have such perfect control on my body. I realize i can walk freely. Thank you so much
story of my life.. then u figure that its the frontfoot and the feets tha does the different and you´ve been thinking about your knee and ankels most of the time... hope you doing good now :)
Agreed but humans are perfectly flawed and modern life/conditioning has effected innate functions ie walking. Video helps avoid chronic pain (real/debilitating for many). We’re free to choose.Our body our choice.
Thank you so much for this video. I'm 20 years old, and ever since I was like 13, it's always bugged me that my gait was off. Of course, that affected my posture, and ultimately my confidence. it hasn't even been 15 minutes since I watched this and I'm already standing up straight and walking swiftly. You're truly a blessing.
When I walk my back is curved and my head is a bit to on front..I am always uncomfortable walking in public..I am working on it and I hope it gets better as I am still 13 lol
Same here mate. You are not alone ksksnsnsbdbs im 12 and I really want to improve the way i walk bc they always judge me negatively instead of correcting me ;-;
Thank you for this video, I walk very strangely because of my autism (a lot of autistic people do) and people keep giving me strange glances because of it, hopefully I can begin to walk properly.
Your not the only one i have autism aswell, i used to be in a autistic class but they moved me to a normal class and that's when it began i start walking without moving my arms and then people made fun of me about it so i loss self confidence and start moving my arms and my walking didn't look right again so everyday my classmates start watching me when i walk and start laughing at me, which brings me to this video
Alympcie Carobert I feel so bad for you, a similar thing has happened to me. I don’t have autism tho, but when I was younger I had low self esteem. That caused me to look at the floor when I walked. Many of my friends noticed that and I should’ve listened to them. They were right, and now I am slowly learning how to walk properly.
With 2019 coming to a close, I'd like to thank all of you who've watched and supported the video and channel. Whether you feel like you're an awkward walker or you feel self-conscious about your walking, I hope this video continues to help you walk a bit better. Though this video is old and the production low, this information can help those who walk a lot to protect themselves from poor body mechanics and injury. Keep up the inspiring (and sometimes not so inspiring) comments!
I tried this technique, is it supposed to make your butt move side to side? Or am I pushing in the wrong way, someone help, the way I walk is a big insecurity of mine
Excellent video. I could see the difference immediately when you showed how to do it wrong. Your shoulders and entire upper body came forward. When you walked with your hips your alighment from top to bottom was perfect. And your stride was fluent. I'll be more attentive now when I walk. Thank you!
Sierrathegoat ALL MY LIFE! And I hate it with a passion. I don't even blame people for laughing, but this helps me. I'm not completely fixed but this helps.
Well put my friend short and to the point. Push with the gluts and use your arms as free counter levers and stand straight when you walk. Thanks for the help.
I walk with a limp because I have internal scar tissue in my knee from post surgery and I hate the limp with a passion! This helped a lot. Thank you! It’s so difficult to walk correctly after I have essentially had to re-learn to walk after not doing so for so long. My range of motion isn’t where it ought to be either but hopefully in due time!
MinJungSoo_ if you don't know this by now cops will harass you thinking you are intoxicated or on something. I've dealt with them before and it's because of my severe anxiety.
thnx man you really saved me here . i fall into a depression because i though i will never walk normally again . i tried many ways to correct it but i end up hurting my muscles . but you in a few seconds changed my life ..i salute you with respect senpai :p
My trainer sent this to me. I am 6 months post ACL and Meniscus reconstruction. I am 56 and a dog walker, and very active overall. What hurts is walking dogs. Your video is showing me that by holding leashes, I am unable to swing arms and I can tell that the kind of stabilizing my knee has to do when a dog pulls is what is hurting. However if I hike I have no pain for 45 minutes to an hour. So I am going to concentrate on your technique, and try waling the dogs with a hand free leash. ( I also bike for hours without any pain..)
At 38 I found out I have Avascular Necrosis and my left hip died and wore out and I needed a hip replacement. Ever since the surgery I know I'm not walking right and walking is very painful. I'm a bodybuilder so I carry a lot of weight from muscle on my frame and that makes things even harder. Knowing how to walk properly is something we all take for granted. I'm still trying to relearn how to walk properly. Thanks for your vid.
My friends told me that I walk like a old women which hurts a lot. But I am trying my best to change it but because of my height I couldn't succeed in it. I am happy that I am not the only one.
Great video. I'm 64 years old. My sciatica has hurt for 2 years. Because of the pain I have been walking hunched over. I've tried to correct it myself with no luck. I'll give this a try. Thank you 😊
I used to think I have common sense. And here I am already watched how to breathe, how to walk, how to sowlloe food, where to hold tounge,how to relax, guide to sleep just in same year? 😩😩😩😩
Thank you so much! I'm 28 and I've been self conscious about this since middle school when a friend pointed out (nicely) that I have an unusual gait. Just walking around my house using your tips have given my glutes a pump. I definitely have some work ahead of me!
are you kidding me, why don't they teach this in school?! ever since middle school I've been walking military type. no wonder I have back pain. anyways thanks for the great explanation!!
That's exactly what happened to me too! I'm currently 14 and I've been trying to fix this problem for a year but I still am so awkward when walking, especially in school😕
Thanks you for this. I had an ankle injury thAt seemed like Achilles tendonitis for about 2 months. Yesterday was the first day I felt no pain from it, but I've been limping for so long I forgot how to walk properly. Now I can start training myself to walk again!
Unfortunately i always mess up my other joint by favoring it and putting al the weight on it while I walk improperly for days/weeks/months so thats the same reason I came.
I'm 29 and as I try to become more fit, I realized I experience pain when running and realized I don't know own how to walk properly. Tha k you so much!
I just started walking and it's my 10th day. Naturally I noticed when I used my hips like you said, the tension lightened in my lower back. My arms naturally started swinging after that and seems to help push me along. I also noticed touching my toes if my back does get tight when walking longer distances really relieves the pressure. Glad you confirmed I was walking correctly 💛💯👍
I was searching "am i properly using deodorant" and this popped up under. Hope all you awkward stuggler walkers are improving and reaching your ideal walk goals :) 💕
I’ve been having knee pain for years, last year I went to a physical therapist and she said Its because I have weak hips, after being given a list of exercises I asked if there was anything I could do in my day to day life that’s more sustainable to help and if I was walking wrong in the first place because I had been told I walk funny in my life lol. She said no there’s nothing. Today I TH-camd “how to walk” because my knees started hurting again and I literally don’t use my hips to walk took me 1:20 to find an answer where a PT cost 1000$
Thanks for this video! I lost my entire family in a car accident and was the only one that made it out alive with critical spine injuries. I couldn't pay for physical therapy so this video helped a ton thanks!!!1!!
Alot of people say to me that I walk like a gangster or that I look like I'm gonna stab someone. Supposedly I sway from side side while walking and its really annoying hearing it.
same here , i got big long arms and my neck tilted back a little lol , when i walk it looks like im looking to the cloud ! so im here to get my shit together.
Same for me. But now I make sure I'm not moving my upper body and just my legs. It's strange how you don't realise how you walk until somebody comments on it.
This is awesome! It's been bothering me for the longest time. After watching today, I put it into practice, along with looking ahead and having my shoulders back and erect. I have to be conscious of this for awhile, but I'm very pleased and extremely grateful.
my knees and hips hurt when i walk and that's why im here i think i completely forgot how to walk ok i just watched it and explains why i have knee pain when i walk i put all that pressure on that area thank you so much
Thank you very much for this video, Dr. Lin. People have always told me I walk strangely. After seeing this, I know it's because I don't fully straighten the back leg and I take a very long stride (not to mention I sway my upper body too much).

It's hard to break this habit. I was in a military band lol :) Defo will use this. Thanks. Edit: I wanted to come back to say thank you. After just one day, I notice a huge difference. I've had a couple of back surgeries, so my exercise options are severely limited, unless I want to be in 10/10 pain all the time LOL :) Making these changes has really helped me a lot while walking for exercise. I walk way faster, get a much better workout, and can go for a lot longer. I easily went a mile further than I normally do. My body didn't feel nearly as taxed as before. I appreciate you sharing your expertise, free-of-charge here.
I've been obsessing over improving my walking gait. This is the first video with clear and concise instructions that worked from the very first time I tried. It all makes sense now
@@jonas33428 I have not but I did have a revelation and I am currently exploring that. Revelation. And that is to say that I have been strengthening my glutes through exercise and I have noticed and improvement to my walking gate. As a result. This is something I've never considered before but I have a rather flat butt. I believe now that it is at least one of the culprits.
+MrAustinValentine YES! We actually do have videos on How to Ascend/Descend stairs with pain/cane. You can find them on our channel :) Thank you for showing interest in our videos! Here are the links for the two videos: th-cam.com/video/gSDbEeg_JTU/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/XS_6GG9FRUw/w-d-xo.html
+Rehab and Revive My physical therapist said to slightly bend knees before your feet hit the ground. He said you don't want to walk with too straight leg. Is he correct? He also said to slightly bend knee when standing. This is very hard for me. And since I've bend my knee slightly when I walk, my left leg feels tight. Please advice. Thank you for your help.
Perfect. I have just come here in a minute I was mocked for my walking. I am 38 and stupid teenage girls in the street shouted I walked like a ballerina. I just can't believe that I was scold when I see other women walking like chimpanzees or ducks. Anyway, I have just learned I walked correctly :)
3 things *land on the mid foot ie the area that's right before your toes *use your buttocks to push back, instead of a overt leg movement *lean abit forward or option b watch this explained from athleanx
This video actually helped, I have an issue with walking in a weird way. When I walk my legs are a little spread out and makes me look weird so this really helped
When I walk ,it's like someone has frozen my legs and especially when u have anxiety and then someone beautiful pass by you 😅😂so I can't even look above and just look down & I am like a robot 🤖
For the people saying that this is stupid, you don’t know how many people need that for real.

Same I always look down when I walk and try to have minimal movement and am called " slow"
That's exactly what happened to me too! I'm currently 14 and I've been trying to fix this problem for a year but I still am so awkward when walking, especially in school😕
I actually searched for this because I'm tired of people mocking my "bouncy" walk. Thank you so much!
Nah fam, my awkward walk comes from insecurities stemming from my child. How I fix dat?
Such as?
Just remember the fact that you will be dead longer than you're alive. Learn to not care what people think
I also had insecurities when I was younger, that caused me to look down when I walked.
Thanks you for this. I had an ankle injury thAt seemed like Achilles tendonitis for about 2 months. Yesterday was the first day I felt no pain from it, but I've been limping for so long I forgot how to walk properly. Now I can start training myself to walk again!
You are very welcome! I hope you check out our other videos about foot and ankle as well.
Unfortunately i always mess up my other joint by favoring it and putting al the weight on it while I walk improperly for days/weeks/months so thats the same reason I came.
yea, favoring an injury is how i forgot as well...
This helped me walk normal after crip walking for years.
I'm 29 and as I try to become more fit, I realized I experience pain when running and realized I don't know own how to walk properly. Tha k you so much!
thank you so much, ur a lifesaver! i accidentally forgot how to walk and this video helped me remember how i walked!
I just started walking and it's my 10th day. Naturally I noticed when I used my hips like you said, the tension lightened in my lower back. My arms naturally started swinging after that and seems to help push me along. I also noticed touching my toes if my back does get tight when walking longer distances really relieves the pressure. Glad you confirmed I was walking correctly 💛💯👍
I was searching "am i properly using deodorant" and this popped up under.
Hope all you awkward stuggler walkers are improving and reaching your ideal walk goals :) 💕
And i hope that now you can use a deodorant😂❤️
I'm really thankful for this video! I've been walking wrong for 40 years! It's taken a toll on my knees. Going to try and adjust
Don't thank us, we thank you! Now to go and have a chat with my parents....
Don't lie
We all searched for this
Fax
yep
Fr
Yes
@Vivian Anya its normal wtf u talk about
This is such a great explanation. It’s so helpful for all of us who have developed compensatory walking patterns. Thank you.
I’ve been having knee pain for years, last year I went to a physical therapist and she said Its because I have weak hips, after being given a list of exercises I asked if there was anything I could do in my day to day life that’s more sustainable to help and if I was walking wrong in the first place because I had been told I walk funny in my life lol. She said no there’s nothing. Today I TH-camd “how to walk” because my knees started hurting again and I literally don’t use my hips to walk took me 1:20 to find an answer where a PT cost 1000$
I'm a 1 yo baby and I'm learning how to walk ! Wish me luck guys! 😭
Great to start you learning at a young age. We wish you the best!
i'm here after KSI newest video, i need to learn how to walk.
lmao same
Thanks for this video! I lost my entire family in a car accident and was the only one that made it out alive with critical spine injuries. I couldn't pay for physical therapy so this video helped a ton thanks!!!1!!
Oh man am sorry to hear! All the best
Wow i had really weak glutes and tight hamstrings i wondered why! I was walking wrong entire my lifeee! Thank you so much for the video
jay kim You got that right! Dr L
I'm here because people think I'm gay because of how I walk
Nevertheless, we hope you were able to find your solution with our walking feature~
Adrianne lol, better learn how and fast
Adrianne it was same with me, and then I attempted to fix way I walked and now people say "u walk like a pimp" lmao
Adrianne I understand, do u walk like a woman?
yea same exact thing with me, and now people say i walk like a jock, i guess that's pretty good tbh.
Years and years of human evolution and we are still learning how to walk correctly.
Even the number 1 draft pick zion williamson didnt walk correctly
@@RehabRevive yeah, even though many dont realise it . they dont know how to walk correctly..
I tried that technique and I 💕 it. Less stress and less energy. Thank you
Exactly! It uses more efficient muscles!
I legit woke up and I can't walk so I need this. And it saved me
Push push push
Alot of people say to me that I walk like a gangster or that I look like I'm gonna stab someone. Supposedly I sway from side side while walking and its really annoying hearing it.
Cairns Chaos have you gotten "you walk like a pimp"
you got swack
same here , i got big long arms and my neck tilted back a little lol , when i walk it looks like im looking to the cloud ! so im here to get my shit together.
Same for me. But now I make sure I'm not moving my upper body and just my legs. It's strange how you don't realise how you walk until somebody comments on it.
Same man same
This is awesome! It's been bothering me for the longest time. After watching today, I put it into practice, along with looking ahead and having my shoulders back and erect. I have to be conscious of this for awhile, but I'm very pleased and extremely grateful.
my knees and hips hurt when i walk and that's why im here i think i completely forgot how to walk
ok i just watched it and explains why i have knee pain when i walk i put all that pressure on that area
thank you so much
JJ said that don't google "how to walk"
so i did it
Thank you very much for this video, Dr. Lin. People have always told me I walk strangely. After seeing this, I know it's because I don't fully straighten the back leg and I take a very long stride (not to mention I sway my upper body too much).
bro i didnt know how to walk for 13 years thank you 😭 😭 😭
19 years of my Life is useless....such a pure Angel...🥺
Thanks for Enlighten us... with Your kind wisdom and knowledge of years of ascetic training...
Really good. Helped me alot
Hello I am also a weird walker.can you help me. Everyone is making fun of me 😭😭😭
Glad it helped!
its sad i cant even walk without being awkward 😍
I can relate
@@bitdw- Glad im not the only one
People Laugh when i Walk✔ Really Kills Me✔😠
@@haroonalex3543 we are in the same boat 😭 wtf my own best friends make fun of me behind my back

for all my life, I've placed my foot directly on the ground, and then sprung from my foot shoulders instead of heel toe. I can't believe it.
thank u i was jumping for past10 years and now iam able to walk thank u
So these whole 16 years I've been walking wrong.. damn it.
It's hard to break this habit. I was in a military band lol :) Defo will use this. Thanks.
Edit: I wanted to come back to say thank you. After just one day, I notice a huge difference. I've had a couple of back surgeries, so my exercise options are severely limited, unless I want to be in 10/10 pain all the time LOL :)
Making these changes has really helped me a lot while walking for exercise. I walk way faster, get a much better workout, and can go for a lot longer. I easily went a mile further than I normally do. My body didn't feel nearly as taxed as before. I appreciate you sharing your expertise, free-of-charge here.
finally after all these years i know how to walk correctly
I've been obsessing over improving my walking gait. This is the first video with clear and concise instructions that worked from the very first time I tried. It all makes sense now
have you master the skill yet?
@@jonas33428 I have not but I did have a revelation and I am currently exploring that. Revelation. And that is to say that I have been strengthening my glutes through exercise and I have noticed and improvement to my walking gate. As a result. This is something I've never considered before but I have a rather flat butt. I believe now that it is at least one of the culprits.
what about proper technique for climbing/descending stairs, jogging, sprinting, standing up, kneeling down, ect?
+MrAustinValentine YES! We actually do have videos on How to Ascend/Descend stairs with pain/cane. You can find them on our channel :) Thank you for showing interest in our videos!
Here are the links for the two videos: th-cam.com/video/gSDbEeg_JTU/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/XS_6GG9FRUw/w-d-xo.html
+Rehab and Revive My physical therapist said to slightly bend knees before your feet hit the ground. He said you don't want to walk with too straight leg. Is he correct? He also said to slightly bend knee when standing. This is very hard for me. And since I've bend my knee slightly when I walk, my left leg feels tight. Please advice. Thank you for your help.
....I want to know this too /\ /\

There's no cars in 1458
Joe Kendel It’s a joke
Thank you so much! This video has helped me so much with my walking.
Jeff Jack That's great to hear Jeff! We're glad that it helped!
Thanks!
Thanks for the love Nicole
i showed this to my baby!.... walking in no time
Perfect. I have just come here in a minute I was mocked for my walking. I am 38 and stupid teenage girls in the street shouted I walked like a ballerina. I just can't believe that I was scold when I see other women walking like chimpanzees or ducks. Anyway, I have just learned I walked correctly :)
Keep at it!
Thank you!
The Red Cat It’s quite the opposite for me. I walk like a creep, people look at me suspiciously cause they think I’m about to do something bad.
DayTripper yes when I’m walking people just stare at me and try to cross the road to the opposite side.
This is Awesome.
Could you do one on running correctly?
GODF1R3 Same here, I need that as well.
3 things
*land on the mid foot ie the area that's right before your toes
*use your buttocks to push back, instead of a overt leg movement
*lean abit forward
or option b
watch this explained from athleanx
This video actually helped, I have an issue with walking in a weird way. When I walk my legs are a little spread out and makes me look weird so this really helped
When I walk ,it's like someone has frozen my legs and especially when u have anxiety and then someone beautiful pass by you 😅😂so I can't even look above and just look down & I am like a robot 🤖
