Walk This Way ...

Thursday October 5, 2006

My walking route takes me through a parking that belongs to a military recruiting station. A nice lady in uniform stopped me yesterday and said, “You walk here all the time, don’t you?”. Uh-oh, I thought, I’m in trouble. I sheepishly answered yes and she said, “Do you know you walk on your toes?”.

Huh? “You step on to the balls of your feet a lot. You should step heel first.”

I also found out I tend to roll my shoulders forward. Interesting. It took someone else pointing out these things to make me realize I’ve been making the mistakes I’ve warned others about!

So I decided to brush up on my walking technique and posture and I found some helpful advice at walking Guide Wendy’s site.

I also found out at the back and neck Guide site that my shoes may have something to do with my poor posture. Who knew?!
