ABOUT THIS VIDEO
Walking should feel natural and relaxed. You should feel symmetrical and balanced. You should not be twisting, turning, limping, or hunching while walking. You should feel your butt, hamstrings, and calf muscles working when you walk. If you feel like your neck and shoulders hurt after walking, you have some work to do! Walking properly for long distances is good for your mind and body. Remember that human beings are designed / have evolved to walk long distances on a regular basis!

Wow that moved my heart. I can relate Matt ❤
Thank you for sharing this. My frustration has been trying to understand if my body atrophied from being bedridden and the health issues I had then how damaged is my heart and my lungs and trying to be positive and encouraged but realistically understand how my progress should be. Have you seen people with overall weakness be able to improve their heart and lungs ?I eat very clean I’m very strict and disciplined. I don’t eat anything processed and I’ve been working on my health for a long time but my circumstance were very extreme, so just wondering if you have personally seen people improve on that level?
cant walk proprly with my hands is the problem with my musles i dont practice any sport
Hi I got inspired cause I fall a lot forward. Even ended up hospital. Now I know I can learn it again. Thank you

I’m 2 years old and I just walked for the first time cuz of this video thank you
That's amazing I'm almost twenty and just learning to walk! You have a bright future
WTF🤣🤣🤣
@@zackzoom8779BRIGHT FURTURE 😂😂😂
I’m an American that just came back from Italy and I noticed how active and fit everyone is because they walk and bike everywhere! Definitely changed my perspective of just going outside more!
True. Lack of processed food might be the bigger determinant.
Do you live in Ohio?
@@2dstriker292 💀
@@travisn346 they have processed foods too, physical activity is the determinant
I love the habit of families and couples strolling the piazza after dinner!
You made me laugh and cry all at once with this wonderful video! God rest your parents' souls, I'm so very sorry for your losses. Will be praying for you. Once I can use my shoulders, hips, and knees normally again (and work), I will donate to this cause. I am asymmetrical as hell right now. Thank you!
🙏🙏Blessings forever GOD loves y'all too forever tell everyone you know and don't know. Jesus loves y'all too forever. Teach everyone how to see and enjoy their blessings too foreverz
I'm sorry to hear of the loss of your mom. I'm a caregiver for mine right now and even though each day it can be hard, I remain grateful for this time I have with her.
I love walking and walk everywhere. To work, to the shops, or just for leisure. It's me time, and helps me detox. I highly recommend it!
Same. Walking feels so good. Also a cheap hobby.
Ever since nuking a hip flexor, I’ve been binge watching your videos. I literally had to relearn and how to break down walking to not cause more pain. The timing of this video is PERFECT. Thank you for your channel!
I had that same experience. I had to relearn how to walk. I felt like an eleven month old. Doing fine now! Matt is wonderful!
Same - those damn hip flexors!

I used to walk a lot but after years of health problems and weight loss I feel it is harder and harder to walk as my psoas/groin gets painful very quickly. I follow both foot pain fix and back pain fix programs and it helps a lot, but eventualy there is always one day when I walk too much and pain comes back, so I'll be glad if a video addresses this problem
Being retired I try to walk most days early in the morning, and every Wednesday I walk with a local walking group, and do stretches and some dynamic excercise and lift some weights and feel great.
This channel always feels so wholesome and welcoming to everyone wether you do sports or are starting from absolute couch potato, and it's so interesting to watch on top of it all! Been doing the Human Squat ever since I saw it here and in consequence I started doing more stretching exercises and adding them to my workout routines so I can take control of my body. Thanks Matt!
I walk way off I have multiple sclerosis,foot drop, impaired gait and hight arch

Ironically I have been hoping that you’d post a video on walking correctly and exercises that can help achieve this. I’m 62 years old and since the pandemic my physical health/fitness has declined significantly. I had debilitating lumbar back pain that has been coming and going since 2020. I live in constant fear of its return and have become increasingly sedentary because of it. Now I’m having issues with my knees. I’m in PT for right knee pain and on my first visit my PT manipulated both knees and now when I walk my left knee constantly clicks. I am so discouraged. I found your channel and have been watching and implementing your exercises religiously and for the first time in years am finding myself feeling stronger physically. I have scoliosis and walk hunched and I’ve recently noticed my gait seems off. I know I’m subconsciously trying to protect my back and knees by taking short and erratic steps. I’m looking forward to your upcoming videos and will definitely start the exercises on today’s video! While I can’t join the walk for your beautiful charity I will donate to them. They are truly unsung heroes. I am sorry for the loss of your father. And thank you Matt for all of your work and support to those of us who’ve lost hope along the way.
You are not alone, I feel exactly the same. Good luck to you going forward.
@@carolinejohn4537 this is one of the reasons I love this channel so much, knowing others can relate. It helps to not feel so alone! Best wishes to you as well!

oh my goodness! I am so sorry for your loss! big hugs to you and your family (and your mum)! And thanks for all the great videos!
Thank you for your positive words & thoughts on hospice. A very worthy cause indeed! ❤
Sorry for the loss of your mom.
I've actually started completely changing how I walk to correct my posture and allow my feet to heal. I now avoid walking with a heel strike. Also I have been spending as much time as possible without shoes..
The Walk For Healing made me cry. Thank you.
Love to you in losing your mom! ❤Thank you, Matt.
Love the comparison to boxing gloves, pretty dang close and accurate comparison. Walking is powerful. It helps me holistically by putting me in a better mental space, getting some healthy movement, and soaking up some sun.
My sincere condolences on the loss of your father...
Thank you for yet another informative video...
Hello Dr. Matt always a blessing to watch your Program/Programs.
I needed a few laughs today, and this video provided me with some! Love your sense of humor, Matt, especially about remembering to walk with one's eyes open and wearing thick cumbersome shoes is the same as trying to type with boxing gloves on! My condolences for the loss of your mom, Matt! Was sad to hear about this. Raising money by walking for the Slo Co. Hospice is a very loving thing to do! Thanks, Matt, for all you do for your patrons here on your channel!
Lovely sense of humour. Bring that "up" to your walk, send the knees forward and take care your feet are not pigeon-toed but forward pointing.
Thank you. Great to have you.
Sorry to hear about your dad. My thoughts are with you. Thank you for what you do 🙏
I believe walking is the one thing most of us are capable of doing our entire lives and I try to walk 2.5 miles daily. I would add the importance of walking on flat as well as uphill and downhill terrain, for it strengthens more muscles in the legs and posterior. Short burst of running while walking is also a great way of elevating the heart rate and reducing blood pressure. Great video and cause❤
Hello, I'm new to your site, but I can honestly say that I enjoy listening to you explain how to do your exercises. Today, I ran across your video on exercising to relieve back pain, and it was truly helpful. I just subscribed to your channel so I can watch more of you.
Informational AND inspirational!! (and I always enjoy the humor you put in every video, lol!!)
Great! Love the demonstrations.
Thanks for the inspiration Matt....much appreciated
Its like you knew I needed this video Matt, thank you... I've noticed that when I walk, I still walk as if I'm in chronic pain because my body has been so used to it for the last 2 and a bit years. I never thought I would ever be pain free again, but now I am and it's great relearning things all over again
🙏🙏Blessings forever GOD loves y'all too forever tell everyone you know and don't know. Jesus loves y'all too forever. Teach everyone how to see and enjoy their blessings too forever,
What a great guy! Thank you 💓
Thank you so much for your content. I really appreciate it. I need to correct my posture and benefit from this resource.
How come you knew I needed this video??? Following a condition which compromised my bones and muscles and two major ops last year, I thought I'd do a bit of rehabilitation and be back doing Nordic Walking in no time.
Not so!! Tore a ligament in my thigh/hip trying too hard. Am shocked at how weak my body is. What used to be an easy ealk now kills me. I've started to hunch and look at the ground.
And the answer is - slowly does it, baby steps - just as you said. Thank you Matt. Love your workouts. I still haven't quite figured out how to support your channel with a donation - but I will 😊
Thanks for the tutorial i really needed it
I recently ditched my trainers and switched to the old fashioned tennis shoes with the fairly flat thin souls. I've always been in socks around the house all day, so the switch didn't affect my muscles or tendons. I'm also walking the dogs instead of running them while I ride the 4-wheeler. Consequently, I discovered some healing herbs growing along our country road. Win/win.
thank you!
Hi Matt! Condolences on your recent losses. I am happy to support this great hospice program by walking with you. All signed up! (I swear I saw a pair of Xero Dillans on your feet. I love that shoe!)

This helps a lot 🧡 thank you. I am in pain with my lower back and keep feeling defeated 😞 I am going to watch your videos! Thank you
I'm slowly getting myself back on track after a lengthy bout of Achilles tendinitis, and a 2 month course of physiotherapy. While the therapy definitely has helped, I see that a complete recovery will depend on me and my habits, not on physio. It seemed ultimately all they wanted to do is sell braces and orthotics, their industry has obviously attached itself to the insurance industry in that way. An eye-opener. So glad to find your channel, thanks for this.
Work to do 3 hours a day most days. Only extreme weather changes that. But when I started could barely do 20 mins.
not going to lie, i was looking at this video to see how to walk properly with migraines. because i feel like my walking is awful with it. super helpful and funny. thank you :)
OMG, i was just wondering about this! I’m trying to walk more, I just started walking at my local park last week.
Nice!
brilliant
Thanks!
Huge thanks!
Thank you : )!
Another great video, Matt. In my 20-30 I used to walk FOREVER. I’d hit a new city and just walk. These days walking makes me stiff, especially in my back/legs. I know I could improve, I just need to do it!
Yup! Gotta get moving!
No
A note about "free running"/barefoot walking: I asked several physios if wearing shoes without support or less support makes for muscles stronger and leads to less injuries, and they all said there was no research to support it. I love your channel and am using your advice to fix my life, and would be interested to hear your take on it
I didn't know how to walk since 10 year, finally i learned walk by this video, Thank You x100
THANK YOU I WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF MY ROOM UNTIL I SAW THIS THANK YOU I CAN MOOOVE
I had surgery on my feet about a year and a half ago and walking again has been SO HARD! I walk a lot slower than I used to, also. I hope this video helps.
I've been walking daily for at least 2 hours. It's almost like a natural high now and my body feels in top shape like a robot that's been fine-tuned and oiled everywhere.
These videos are really helpful. Thank you.
Can you make a video or provide tips for standing up fpr hours for example if at a concert and not get back, shoulder and neck pain please?
Thank you.
Funny coincidence I visited San Luis Obispo on my recent trip to the US, charming little city, ate a delicious burger there
exactly 25 years old today and just learned how to walk 😂😂
Nice job! Congratulations!!! 🍾
Great video, I learned leg/glute positions. Please let me know the correct/best way to walk incline for weight loss, stamina, etc. Is it with a wider leg stance, etc. I've watched your hip videos and want to walk correctly uphill and gain strength at the same time. Thanks.
you have helped me a lot in many ways - working on squatting and hunchback/forward head - I tried to get on your "how to fix hunchback while walking" but it is not available - any chance you will repost?? Thanks
hI I am really enjoying the info in your videos.can u let me know please what to start with for beginner overall body balance?my body is unbalanced a bit and sore in some places like knee hip ribs and shoulder thanks 👍
Great topic and video, thanks! Any chance you could cover rucking in this series please?
Thanks so much for the constant motivation and knowledge to help us better our bodies.
Would you mind sharing the company and model number of your office chair? Since it's in your office I'm sure it's comfy when staying seated for long periods of time and ergonomically correct.
Thanks!
I wish I could walk more. I am trying to recover from Plantar Fasciitis which has caused a heel spur, which has been painful since October. I found a way to tape my foot up so I can walk a bit better with a little less pain. It’s been a battle.

Posture correction and proper Posture in Movement is most underrated, which can cure 90% body ache
For people with fallen arches, I think arch supports after better than being barefoot
There is a video by Tatiana Rooney called Follow-Along for Strong Feet, Stability, a High Demi Pointe for Dancers that has greatly helped me rehabilitate my foot strength, flexibility, and structure. I'm not the only one - several (including many non-dancers) in the comments talk about it helping with their flat feet and fallen arches. It's worth a try, at least.
I’ve found that internally rotating my hips so that my feet point straight forward when I walk seems to correct my entire posture automatically. I also feel way lighter and faster when walking.
I’m sorry you lost your mother 🙏 condolences
I signed up, but won't be able to participate. I live in Australia and the exchange rate is really eye watering right now, putting even the initial sign up fee right out of my budget. I'm so sorry. I'd been having problems with my leg arteries not getting enough blood causing a LOT of pain after walking for about 5 minutes. I've been receiving treatment for it since mid-January and yesterday I decided it was time to really test how able I am to walk. To my surprise in ten minutes I got way further than I've been able to in a long time. I did have to briefly stop (under a minute) a few times but nothing at all like I'd had for a long time in the past. It was a 20 minute walk and I was sore, but happy that I tried, succeeded and can return to doing one of the things I've always enjoyed doing. Tomorrow I'll try 15 minutes to see how far I get and then turn around and go home (and see how that second 15 minutes goes for me - often it used to take much longer on the trip back home due to pain. If that goes well, I'll be back to 5000 steps a day in no time!
Where do I purchase shoes that were in the beginning of the video
Matt I saw a video on walking with your feet a bit outward and how to engage the glute muscles in order to help knees. Your thoughts?
June2023: I am happy I decided to go for "walk videos" first. And this is recent.
Recently I have seen "a DC person" who told me to do what I would call "military posture", or "ballet posture". I thought, why not try it for a while. It's an alternative to "tai chi posture".. Let me see what it strengthens. What it does is use some thoracic muscles. And also I found myself doing "something" I was having a difficult time describing. After "tucking my tailbone under"/lengthening my spine = cancelling APT = finding a neutral pelvis, I found myself doing something else.
I called it "pulling the front of my pelvis up out of my legs" which SMH didnt seem to describe much. Today I watched a video (about "doming" aka activating the Transverse Abd. which, if I am clear, I have heard called "Pull your bellybutton in to try to touch the front of your spine".
I sure would like to hear your *much clearer words* Matt if you can tell what I am talking about. Thanks. You rock.
The healthy hips 1 program has helped me a lot and I believe I can postpone (the new hip) hopefully forever ! thanks. I have heard that walking incorrectly with too much quads and not enough gluts can contribute to some hip problems. I will stay tuned to this topic.
Great video, I used to walk a lot, but as I've gotten older it's not easy or enjoyable.iam 64 now and have pain everywhere from my feet, ankles, knees and hips.Its very depressing as I've always been active.
Anthony, I know EXACTLY what you're going through. I'm the same age, and having the same issues. Older age is our new challenge. 🫣
Very sorry to hear of the death of your mother. She must have been very proud of you - and grateful as are many of us.
i couldnt walk know i can thanks
I went to Zero Drop shoes for hiking and walking about 3 years ago. Will never go back to cushioned shoes or shoes w/ thick heels. Maybe this is just for me, not true for everyone but my experience. BTW I walk 6 to 9 hours per week and only count time I walk with a knapsack. I am 75 years old.
thank you i'm new born baby now i can walk
Fit and active is ideal. The reality is, so many Americans drive great distances (1+ hours, 5+ days/week) to get to jobs that are nowhere near their homes. Lifestyles are impacted by the need to survive. There is no reasonable way to compare among cultures.
Anyone else hearing “wokking” and not walking.😂
Do you have any recommendations for minimalist shoes that aren’t super expensive?
Why am I watching this, I don't know but I like it
Dear Host: Could you comment on this. I would suggest people to stand barefoot on a flat surface and have someone stand behind to see if your shoulders are symmetrical. Most of the times they’re not. You can even look at the inside of your old shoes - take the inserts out and see the bottom. You are likely to see one side is worn out more than the other. One of my shoulders was a bit lower so my podiatrist made a personalized insert to balance my shoulders. My insurance paid most of it. I walk 3-5 miles a day and this made a difference.
Love this video! Is Walking For Healing a nationwide initiative or just in your area? I’m in Florida.
It helps a non-profit in my area, but you can participate from anywhere! 🔥
My problem is a spinal injury from 40yrs ago where i broke C3,4&5. It took years to walk again and through my late 30's to early 50's i walked with a barely noticeable limp. I'm in my 60's and struggling to walk as my legs feel like lead bricks and my pelvis is spastic and tight. I wanna get back to comfortable walking but don't know how....🤔
The boxing glove analogy got a laugh out of me
You should do a video on walking slow i always feel uncomfortable walking this way
What about the model hip thrust fast walk that stretches your body?
The video linked below comes up as private?
How do I fix my over-swing arms? What should I do?
Would you do a hip replacement for arthritis?
I would love a program to transition from thick to zero drop shoes…and what can you say about flat feet?
After hurting my knees in the gym on leg press and by doing squats incorrectly, I'm trying to check if I'm at least walking correcly. So, I have some questions:
Should I rotate my hips while walking? If yes, internally or externally rotate?
Should I land on my feet with a straight leg (not locked) or is it better to have it bent?
Definitely doing something wrong. From now on I take my time at work 😂
when walking barefoot should heel tounch ground first?
I walk barefoot at home all the time, but I have a hard time walking outside with thin soles. I was told it's because I have a big arch in my foot... Do you recommend wearing soles to fill the arch in my foot or better to force myself to walk with thin soles until my feet get used to it? Thanks!
I have a question🙋🏽♂️ when it comes to thinner more flexible shoes, it definitely makes sense on natural grounds. However, on cement and pavement, i would assume that you need a more padded shoe, similar to replicating dirt? Been curious about this a long time. Thank you!
Thanks Matt. I am a great fan. The video about hip pain solved my problem in one day, but I am going to suggest an important improvement to future videos. Sit on your right hand. If you can't find another way to keep your hand from waving, then sit on it until you come to a word you want to emphasize with a hand gesture. Why? Because, if you would underline every word in a letter, there would be no way to draw attention to the most important words. So save the hand gesture until you come to the most important word and THINK about the most appropriate hand gesture. Apart from that, you are a good communicator, but this is an irritating fault that you can fix right away, and it will be a HUGE improvement to your presentations.
Respected Sir I have lower back pain while walking can you help me what I can do to fix I sit 8 7 hours day Thank you.
I had hip replacement
I am limping due to muscle strength
Are there exercises to help me ?
i accidently developed a habit of walking without moving my arms (ik💀) and i cant believe im looking this up now lmao
Send this to friends who work akwardly
What about pain on one side that makes you limp? Should you not push walking on a painful hip? I still do everything, but walking distance is painful. I love to walk and miss my long walks that I used to do.
