Brother you don't look a day over 30 never would've guessed your true age. Thanks for all your videos they are very helpful and I plan on putting this to practice!
Holy shit, I have been trying to force my feet to point outwards my whole life because of how it looks when they always go inwards like you demonstrate when I relax my legs or walk naturally. It’s what they told me to do when I was a kid
It’s all coming together now! Thank you so much. I try really to watch the ads on your videos bc that’s the best way I know how to contribute to the content you provide.
You’re a Wizard Just tried out this way of walking and my right foot is cracking, 😀 in a good way, plus I’m actually able to walk in a straight line, normally I’m wobbling from side to side. I’ve got hammer toes and bunions, I’m sure this will diminish too. Wowza I’m delighted My legs began tingling like pins and needles. 60 years of walking the wrong way, before long I may start jogging again. Boy this is going to change everything. There’s a saying “No foot, no horse” meaning the health and balance of the hooves greatly determines the importance of motion efficiency/ survival. The past month I’ve dedicated myself to sorting out my hips etc, doing a lot of great stuff like stretching, sitting less, Gym, treadmill, cycling but……. I hadn’t looked at my feet or even understood what hip rotation actually meant ( partner nagging me for years 😀) Thanks a million 🏃♀️ PS best of all, my groin strain ceased immediately 👍😀
Thank you, this really helps. I've been walking more on my toes from watching other barefoot videos but you go into more detail. Now this info about hips makes even more sense.
Thanks for your efforts. Just subscribed, as you seem to be dealing with issues I’ve been ignoring for as long as I remember. I had long ago decided my flat feet were here to stay🙄. Now my hips have joined the party a bit. I’m going to watch this video again now. Good man 👍🏻
excellent video. this kind of information should be taught in schools. having proper introspection isnt just a necessity for athletes but for everybody that has a functioning body!
seriously. this should be pre-k and kindergarten training for everyone at 3-5 years old. wtf is this world. spreading misinformation and teaching propaganda instead of the basics, so they can sell more shoes and surgeries.
so glad i found your channel! i run and have an plagued by left sided shin splints for years. my right shoe often has scuff marks on the inside from my left foot crossing over.
this works I have flat feet .I have had problems with my feet and back and I have tried this .I totally get it my knees hit, when I walk. Walking this way aligns my ankles. Thanks so much this is a great channel. I believe overtime with a good effort, I can fix many of my posture issues.
Not a coincidence that TH-cam suggested your channel after the GOATA channel. Have you been watching them recently like me? I have been enjoying your videos; I am a trainer and your stuff helps clarify my words to my clients. Your communication skills are top notch. Keep it up 👍
Thank you! I saw their interview on the Power Project, and i share some of their thoughts. I have not taken their course, so I can't claim to know their full philosophy.
I have been recovering from a fracture inside my foot/ankle and I seem to be walking better on that side then the side I didn't fracture. I have a bunion on this other foot, calcanius heel pain on the outside and it feels like my ankle wants to lock up as well as the base of my toes is in pain, the ball of my foot. I'm about to turn 35. Dr never put me thru physical therapy after my fracture and I no longer have full mobility in it, still painful to excercise it. Just found your channel and hope to get my mobility back and stop being in pain, I am almost always bear foot because I'm a stay at home mom, I thought it was a bad thing but watching your videos have made me realize I'm walking wrong
Mark you are the man!!! I have struggled for 3 years after breaking my femur badly to return back to pain free functional life. Not only has your videos got all the pains out you have returned me to better function prior to injury. The correct function has made anything from waste down feel amazing no pains no tightness I’m finally learning how to use my body at the age of 37 haha.
It's so funny you made this video. I've been changing the way I walk with some inspiration from your videos. I noticed I was getting peronial tendinitis symptoms on my left foot/ankle. It was an unbearable sharp pain. With concentration and patience, I started walking differently by mimicking the turns if my right leg/foot and paying attention to my hip movement. I found that my left leg feels a little underdeveloped in mobility/muscle than my right. I was twisting and leaning more on my left in a way I didn't with my right, in short. Now I haven't felt that sharp pain lately and I noticed I definitely walk more evenly on the balls of my feet and feel more muscles being worked in my left leg/foot than I did before.
That is great progress. My left leg was also an issue, from a childhood injury. But it can be underdeveloped by leg use preference (Driving, Dominant kicking or jumping leg)
@@GrownandHealthy I still feel a tingle if I stand for long periods at times, but the sharp random pain is definitely not as bad as it was some months ago. So sharp like something was being cut in my outer ankle
I am a runner. I tried to improve my running technique and discovered (through videos) That I have a hip impingement (which is evident on x-rays), but I could see the problem in my shoe ware. Some heel ware. I was landing on my heel. Then I saw it while running on a treadmill in front of a mirror. So I tried to correct it so I could run faster. I did and by marking the bottom of my shoes, I was able to track my improvement. I still have a hip impingement, but I walk and run correctly. Only improvement to my life that I noticed is that I don´t wear out my shoes so fast.
Another quality video. Thank you very much! I've been focusing on keeping the hips pretty square for the past two years, but now I'll try adding a subtle inward rotation on the follow through. Do you have anyone you'd recommend also checking out for content like this?
Jeremy ethier, he has many science based explanations of exercises that correct muscles imbalances. also taro iwamoto has an entire Chanel based around mindful movement
Same here. Ive developed PFJ pain due to patellar maltracking because of repetitive torsion stress on the knee. Basically no IR ability on the hip led to my patellar cartilage needing surgery at 25 years old (termal sealing through arthroscopy). Wish i could get into this much before symptoms appeared. This might be the end of my natural bodybuilding career due to not knowing how to walk LMAO (wrong stepping on pedals while driving also was a huge contributor). Take care 🤜❤🤛
Thanks for the video. The part showing your toes with hip internal rotation looks like it’s too much internal rotation. Looks like you’re going to push off with the outside half of your toes when really you should be pushing off your 1st metatarsal to execute windlass and turn your foot into a rigid lever.
Thrilled I’ve found your channel! Do you have a brand or feature in a shoe you recommend? I find “neutral “ shoes are not always as neutral as they claim. Is this the same as supination or does it cause supination?
I think this was the missing link. Been watching and practicing along with your videos for almost a year. Made huge changes but had good days and some where the feet wouldn’t land right or a leg would lock up, etc. Two great days in a row focusing on this movement. Do you have a Venmo? I would love to contribute somehow to keep getting great videos that you do.
Hi! I love your videos, thank you! This year, in a yoga training course, we were introduced to a concept called "skeletability." It refers to how the skeleton has a defined range of motion that varies as much as physical features do among individuals. According to this theory, some people have a very open hip rotation because that's how their bone structure is designed. What's your take on this? According to this instructor, I walk with my feet slightly rotated outwards for this same reason, and I indeed suffer from pain in the arch of my foot. However, walking while "correcting" the posture a bit, by rotating them inwards, feels very unnatural and uncomfortable to me. What do you think? Thanks!
Brother as always thank u for this valuable info,much needed. To gain inward rotation can i follow the exercise u mentioned in ua "4 ways to fix hip pain" video I am already practising those
This video contains valuable, good information. The points are often obscured by extraneous information, tangential asides and poorly structured presentation and lack of script editing. You often give several causes/effect relationships to draw a conclusion then after the conclusion, present the effect as a result of the another cause. The way you reverse argument order hampers the point you are trying to make because the viewer is listening to an out of order argument.
Problem is when you have femur-acetabular impingement is nearly impossible to rotate internally, and can go on for months before the problem can be settled, either via surgery or smth else
I can barely walk anymore my hips have lost range of motion. My feet are mangled and I have been exercising my whole life with my deformed feet. I’m gonna try this.
Very interested in your views-comments. I've got a very stiff pelvis to the point of rigidity plus many issues as I've got a disability brain related. How can I focus on forcing my legs in the right position?? Looking for tips as I know for a proper response, a diagnosis is required!
Found your channel today. Great stuff. What non-foot-mangling shoes do you recommend for extended periods of walking in the city? I work as a face-to-face salesman and want to treat my feet and legs right.
My feet are big and flat had to quit soccer due to my intense hip pain and inability to handle the ball. Now I know why and it ends this year. I will work until I am back on the field.
I’m 64 years young and until last year ran about 15 miles a week while working with weights and floor work also. I have begun to wear barefoot shoes for the most part. I have begun race walking which seems to work more muscles in less time than running and with less stress on joints. Is this for power walking the best for natural hip rotation?
Thanks for this. What are your thoughts on breathing patterns? Can you make a video for warmups to do before going walking to ensure the proper muscles and movement patterns are prepped. Also where are you located?
Thanks for watching. Yes, i have filmed some videos on the topics of breathing patterns, stress and pain management. I am editing them currently. I'm located in Atlanta
@@GrownandHealthy awesome. Looking forward to watching those. Would love to see some warm ups and stretches to do before walking as well. If I am ever in the Atlanta area , I will be sure to check in for some trainings with you!
I think overly externally rotated femurs lead to my big toe arthritis. These days everyone does squats in the gym & the cue is ‘knees out’… Lots of strengthening for the external rotators & basically nothing for the internal rotators. I realised very recently I have zero internal rotation strength and ROM & I’m hoping that I’m on the road to having less knee & hip pain & less stiffness in my leg since starting internal rotation strengthening exercises.
so am I correct in thinking that to achieve internal rotation, you should be pointing both feet in the same way two lines meet the top of a triangle? (aka - inwards)?
@@GrownandHealthy Yess. I walk backwards after hearing about it from the kneesovertoes guy! Although - I do it on a curved treadmill with max resistance so it's as if I'm pulling a load. should I be mindful of achieving internal rotation while walking backwards as well (aka landing inwards - triangle )?
Hi 😢 am a girl 18 years old from Germany I was so worriedly one of my hip clicks when I walk it’s click even my friend heard it and asked maybe I broke a bone it’s happens ones a while but I don’t like it it’s changes my leg movements makes me look like I have ( ) leg
great video, I have been really mindful of my everyday movements since finding your channel! I have noticed that when I sit my legs fall inward (not the same as sitting with my legs together but rather they turn inward at the hip, I think) Should you maintain space in your legs and keep your knees pointed up while sitting?
I had a quick question I was hoping you could help me with. I have been having gait issues for a while now. I am now thinking it is related to my hips(TFL, hip flexors, glutes, etc) Could tightness or weakness in any of these areas cause over pronation? Who should I go see about this? I have already seen so many different people.
hello.. I just see your video..I have external foots ...do you think that it's possible to train for having a neutral foot ?...do you think that's it's not dangerous for my hips if I try to walk with neutral position of my foot ? thanks for your response
Oh my. I knew I was externally rotated. My feet rotate within shoes so that my toes are at a 1 or 2 o'clock position.when I wear ballet flats you will see the shoe changing positions. I'm thinking that is one reason I never got properly fitting pointe shoes back in the day. As a former dancer, even standing with my feet parallel I feel pigeon toed. I never had good turn out, but now I need to work on turn in.....
I'm going to watch more of your walking videos and try to put things in practice. I don't necessarily step with my foot turned out but it twists as I step through - more on my right than left.
My walk is pretty neutral or slightly internally rotated. But whatever internal rotation I have in walking that way is the limit of what I have. Yet at 66 years of age, I can still sprint. Running straight forward is not a problem. But lateral movement, sitting cross-legged, assuming the pigeon pose, are all but impossible. Those are external rotation if I understand properly. And my orthopedic surgeon tells me that x-rays and MRIs confirm that my hips are bilaterally and congenitally malformed. So rotation is bone on bone and I should just stop trying to do the things that they don't want to do or that put undue stress on my knees or back when I try to do them. And my pelvis cannot tilt either anterior or posterior. This makes sitting on the floor a huge ordeal. I have been trying through countless physical therapists and other body work professionals to improve these things for decades and they only get worse over time. It's extremely frustrating. But I can run and I can ski. So maybe I should just be satisfied with that. I do wear minimal shoes all the time except for ski boots.
How is it, that ive seen healthy Monks walking barefoot in their home country, with duck feet / externally rotated feet? Could it be that externally rotated feet are normal/natural for some anatomies / posterior pelvic tilts?
@@GrownandHealthy yes, the video i saw was definetely not based in the west. I do not know what age they became monks. All 3 of them had externally rotated feet whilst walking bare foot
I explain in the video, why this isn't normal. As an example, a proper front split ( a good test of end range mechanics) requires an internally rotated rear leg.
@@GrownandHealthy ah okay, so if you're internally rotating at this point, would you then need to externally rotate the leg when it is Infront of the hips to make room for the internal rotation? And then the opposite during swing phase? So external rotation at swing phase to make up for the previous internal rotation during late midstance? Essentially doing the opposite for each stage of gait now
@@roy6419 Pointing your feet "straight", with the lateral edge of the feet, will create a triangular shape between the feet. Try to maintain this, throughout the gait cycle...if your mobility does not allow you to step freely, in this alignment, internally rotate, just enough to "toe off".
@@GrownandHealthy got you! Thanks for the advice! Does this translate to the femur turning slightly inwards as well? As that is what it feels like, seems to be helping my gait power a bit
@@roy6419 Yes. The femur will rotate through the Sartorius, which is a key factor in athletic movement. That is why boxers internally rotate (foot pivots internally) to throw a hook. But it will take a lot practice to develop it skillfully, to counteract previous patterns.

I would advise a bit of caution for internal rotation, I tried this and ended up just caving in my knees (valgus). Need better hip stability first before i try this again
I am living in India.... I have problem walking.. I'm a boy but my move is like girls but it doesn't mean I'm a different gender. I have been in tension for the last 5 years and have also tried suicide many times. Please help me!..
I have always practiced this, as seen in my earlier videos. (I was commented on, about running funny) but yes, they see the importance also. I saw the podcast they did on the Power Project and I agreed with their points.
hi youtube forefoot guy of the time.. i did this long and i have thoughts i would be more like sneaking on sharp rocks more duck feet more bend knee and feet more in front of eachother peace

Just tried out this way of walking and my right foot is cracking, 😀 in a good way, plus I’m actually able to walk in a straight line, normally I’m wobbling from side to side.
I’ve got hammer toes and bunions, I’m sure this will diminish too.
Wowza I’m delighted My legs began tingling like pins and needles.
60 years of walking the wrong way, before long I may start jogging again.
Boy this is going to change everything.
There’s a saying “No foot, no horse” meaning the health and balance of the hooves greatly determines the importance of motion efficiency/ survival.

It will help, but upcoming videos will simplify how to gain internal rotation
"Rotate hip internally during hip extension"...would be great a video expanding this concept in the practice of walking, thanks!
Do a video on just the proper rotation. 2:56, 3:34, 3:48. So, we land on the lateral foot, push off the 1st toe rolling back to the lateral side?
Though I get the hip extension advantage nternally rotated are you not using less big toe on push off than by neutral movement? I find that confusing.
I want to share this video with my brazilian friend… i hope there would be a Portuguese subtitle… its really informative….
Interesting

What if your wearing boots all day carrying stuff how are you to work out what your hips to toes are doing

I had a quick question I was hoping you could help me with. I have been having gait issues for a while now. I am now thinking it is related to my hips(TFL, hip flexors, glutes, etc) Could tightness or weakness in any of these areas cause over pronation? Who should I go see about this? I have already seen so many different people.
Yes, Muscle Imbalances will cause collapsed arches.
It should be a physical therapist, But I have yet to see one that has helped anyone with this.
This is really helpful. Do women naturally internally rotate more when walking vs men?
In my observations of walking, I see women internally rotating more than men.
hello.. I just see your video..I have external foots ...do you think that it's possible to train for having a neutral foot ?...do you think that's it's not dangerous for my hips if I try to walk with neutral position of my foot ? thanks for your response
Externally/Internally and Neutral all come from the Hips.
Hip initiates, the Knee tracks and the Foot falls.
Oh my. I knew I was externally rotated. My feet rotate within shoes so that my toes are at a 1 or 2 o'clock position.when I wear ballet flats you will see the shoe changing positions. I'm thinking that is one reason I never got properly fitting pointe shoes back in the day. As a former dancer, even standing with my feet parallel I feel pigeon toed. I never had good turn out, but now I need to work on turn in.....
I'm going to watch more of your walking videos and try to put things in practice. I don't necessarily step with my foot turned out but it twists as I step through - more on my right than left.
should we squat and deadlift also with internal rotation of the hip?
I would practice single leg variations of the squat and deadlift, before trying conventional.
Health looks gorgeous on you!
My walk is pretty neutral or slightly internally rotated. But whatever internal rotation I have in walking that way is the limit of what I have. Yet at 66 years of age, I can still sprint. Running straight forward is not a problem. But lateral movement, sitting cross-legged, assuming the pigeon pose, are all but impossible. Those are external rotation if I understand properly. And my orthopedic surgeon tells me that x-rays and MRIs confirm that my hips are bilaterally and congenitally malformed. So rotation is bone on bone and I should just stop trying to do the things that they don't want to do or that put undue stress on my knees or back when I try to do them. And my pelvis cannot tilt either anterior or posterior. This makes sitting on the floor a huge ordeal. I have been trying through countless physical therapists and other body work professionals to improve these things for decades and they only get worse over time. It's extremely frustrating. But I can run and I can ski. So maybe I should just be satisfied with that. I do wear minimal shoes all the time except for ski boots.
What he's back... Yes
Yes, I am.
yes I'm externally rotating the hip and it is bad. are there exercises to get better?
I will show some stretches and exercises that have helped in upcoming videos.
@@GrownandHealthy thanks!
How is it, that ive seen healthy Monks walking barefoot in their home country, with duck feet / externally rotated feet? Could it be that externally rotated feet are normal/natural for some anatomies / posterior pelvic tilts?
"In their home country"!?
Were they born monks, or did they adopt a Monk lifestyle after a certain age?
@@GrownandHealthy yes, the video i saw was definetely not based in the west. I do not know what age they became monks. All 3 of them had externally rotated feet whilst walking bare foot
Curious. Normally the femur is supposed to externally rotate once it passes the hips, is this different from what the hip should be doing?
I explain in the video, why this isn't normal. As an example, a proper front split ( a good test of end range mechanics) requires an internally rotated rear leg.
@@GrownandHealthy ah okay, so if you're internally rotating at this point, would you then need to externally rotate the leg when it is Infront of the hips to make room for the internal rotation? And then the opposite during swing phase? So external rotation at swing phase to make up for the previous internal rotation during late midstance? Essentially doing the opposite for each stage of gait now
@@roy6419 Pointing your feet "straight", with the lateral edge of the feet, will create a triangular shape between the feet.
Try to maintain this, throughout the gait cycle...if your mobility does not allow you to step freely, in this alignment, internally rotate, just enough to "toe off".
@@GrownandHealthy got you! Thanks for the advice! Does this translate to the femur turning slightly inwards as well? As that is what it feels like, seems to be helping my gait power a bit
@@roy6419 Yes. The femur will rotate through the Sartorius, which is a key factor in athletic movement. That is why boxers internally rotate (foot pivots internally) to throw a hook. But it will take a lot practice to develop it skillfully, to counteract previous patterns.

What exercises can I do to fix my walking?
It all depends on your "weak points" but start by watching the "Walking" playlist on this channel.
5:55 Lebron James' foot. I only know due to great memory if anyone is wondering lol
Hope everyone is walking healthier after this video!
Thats Lebrons foot
@@efrengramajo Thank you for correcting me Efren, post edited.
Yes, it is! And many other basketball players are suffering the same fate.
I’m still confused. Should I walk with my toes and thighs facing forward? The neutral one?
Your toes should slight converge at a midline.. Think of the position of your thumbs, if you placed your hands, palm side down on a table.
@@GrownandHealthy Can you explain that as if I were 10 yrs old? Sorry :) Thanks for responding.
@@GrownandHealthy ok I get it now…. Took me a while to figure out what you meant about the thumbs. Thanks.
I feel awkward trying to walk with the internal rotation
my left food is square...my right foot always points externally....any clues?
A guess would be misalignment of your pelvis.
Which is right from 3 forms?
No 3
I have problems to walk correctly, can you help me individually? I m tired of this problem :( no doctors succeed to help me
Definitely! coach@grownandhealthy.com
My walking is weird. My hips sway/swing like a woman. What can I do to train my body to walk correctly?
Karate training will help
I would advise a bit of caution for internal rotation, I tried this and ended up just caving in my knees (valgus). Need better hip stability first before i try this again
Yes. Twist from the hips, not by bringing the knees inwards.
I can hardly, or not, see the difference between the different walks 🙈
I can think of nothing worse than being considered a "normal " person
Bro, I always end up walking like Shane McMahon. External rotation, with knocked knees + extra fat around the ass and waist.
I am living in India.... I have problem walking.. I'm a boy but my move is like girls but it doesn't mean I'm a different gender. I have been in tension for the last 5 years and have also tried suicide many times. Please help me!..
Record your walk, upload it and send me the link.
you're 44?! yeah I'm tryna get what you're on!!
I'm on whole foods and Lots of sleep, only.
@@GrownandHealthy Roger that!!
You do GOATA?
I have always practiced this, as seen in my earlier videos. (I was commented on, about running funny)
but yes, they see the importance also.
I saw the podcast they did on the Power Project and I agreed with their points.
When convention increases your chance of injury...fuck it and do it "wrong".
AINT NO WAY YOU’RE 44 SIR
hi youtube forefoot guy of the time..
i did this long and i have thoughts
i would be more like sneaking on sharp rocks
more duck feet more bend knee and feet more in front of eachother
peace
Ok, we are fucked up.. and? No advices in this video, only another reason to worry, like we don't have enough already... 🤦♂️
