That moment when you learn how to walk at the age of 30.
-
I do believe Bob and Brad are in fact ACTUALLY the most famous Physical therapists on the internet.
-
Ever since floating was banned ive been struggling to get around becuase of my inability to walk. But this video changed my life!! I can now walk just as well as that one man who could float AND walk. He robbed a lot of banks when floating was outlawed since he was the only person who could walk. Anyway this video is AMAZING. Thanks Bob and Brad, the two most famous physical therepists on the internet.

i love how the majority of this video is filmed from the knees up.
-
You know your getting old when your watching videos on how to walk correctly.
-
47 and learning to walk. This is where the insanity of quarantine brought me.
-
So to sum it up: -Don't ram your heel into the floor to prevent your miniscus from long term dying (touch the ground with your toes first). -Walk leaning a tiny bit forward (NOT TOO MUCH). -Cushen your feet with insoles or running shoes that have cushy soles to lessen the impact. -Train your posture by putting your hands behind your back 8:24 to straighten up. -Pick up the pace a little bit to prevent weight on the spine. EDIT: I asked this to a physiotherapist and he agreed, but instead of landing on the toes he said it's best to land on the whole foot. So not the heel or the toes. Edit 2: I actually have 2 experts claiming there is NO research that supports running on your heels causes long term issues with your joints. 🤔

Thanks this tutorial helps me so much!!! - 10 month old baby
-
I had a stroke 3 months ago I’m 17 and your videos help me so much. I watch these a lot they help everyone!!
-
I dont even know if im breathing correctly now
-
This makes so much sense. I changed to forefoot running a few years ago which did wonders for my lower back, but walking still hurts my knees. You're telling me I should be forefoot walking as well. Mind. Blown. Thank you!
-
1. Mid-foot or forefoot strike instead of heel strike 2. Shorter strides 3. Feel your glutes engaged 4. Lean ever so slightly forward (Watch the video for this one, aka just be mindful of posture) 5. Do chin tucks and chest stretches occasionally to reset posture if it gets bad 6. If you have pain in the lower back, pick up the speed instead of lumbering
-
This is VERY helpful. My poor walking technique finally backfired on me at age 74. NOT going in for hip replacement. Gel insoles, YES Shorter strides!!! I do that thing with my hands clasped , arms straight...watching for watching Neighbors.
-
Damn my wife is right, I can’t do anything right.
-
When I was young I used to walk with my forefoot but after I broke my leg my physical therapist REFUSED to let me walk like that and wouldn’t rest till I walked with my heel striking the ground. I’ve been walking that way for years not knowing I had it right all along. Ty Bob & Brad for saving my knees.
-
holy shit.. I just realised that all these years, I always wore down my shoes fastest on my heels. Been having some knee pain during my teenage years and twenties already. Learning how to run has helped me to relearn walking!
-
Man, I remember when my dad scolded me for walking "incorrectly" and taught me how to walk the "correct" way when I was actually walking the right way. It's been almost a decaded and I've walked like that ever since, and just now am I learning how to walk correctly again.
-
This is great advice I was taught it by my gym teachers when I was 13 when jogging running or walking. It makes your calves feet legs and glutes strong and you stop hyper extending your knee. I grew an inch and a half calve thickness doing this for some 2 years. I have better balance, almost no knee problems unless I accidentally whack it into something. God Bless you two, for giving your all to help people as much as you can. You two sure helped me a whole lot with all your knowledge. Thank you both!

Saturday night, and learning how to walk in my late 20's. lol
-
Enlightening! Running 6 miles a day when I was younger lead to bilateral knee replacement at age 59. Now only walking experiencing leg, glute, low back pain. I'm so glad you shared this video. Making this change immediately~Thank You!
