Heel Toe Walking

                                   
 
 
 
                                                                                                                     

 

Heel toe walking. Start with your feet together standing normally. Choose a foot, left or right, it doesn't matter. Slowly start to lift your toes as far back as you can while lifting you foot. Start stepping forward gently kick the ground a foot step in front of you with the ball of your foot. Lift your foot and strike the same spot with the heel of that foot while continuing to step forward. Now let the ball of your foot fall to the ground. Repeat with the other foot, and so on and so on, until you start to get the hang of it.
 

 
 
Now we speed it up a bit. Try to combine all the motions together with as little pause in between them as possible but still keeping proper form. Again, do this until you start to feel comfortable and confident enough to start speeding it up to almost a regular walking pace.
 


Now that you have learned and practiced the steps and are conformable with the motions at a slower pace, it's time to speed it up to a normal walking pace. And here is the key to this, keep your center low and relaxed. If you stand up straight and stiff, heel toe walking does not work. So keep low, loose and breath, and enjoy some Heel Toe Walking.
