November is all about walking well!
As the weather turns colder and the evenings draw in, it’s easy to hunch up or tuck your chin against the wind. But a few small adjustments to your walking posture can make a big difference to how you feel — helping you stay comfortable, balanced and moving well this season
Head – Try not to look down at your phone or the ground too much, as this can strain your neck. Keep your chin level and your eyes looking ahead.
Back – Think about lengthening through your spine and standing tall. Avoid rounding or hunching your shoulders.
Shoulders – Keep your shoulders relaxed and away from your ears. Let them move naturally as you walk.
Core – Gently engage your core. It helps with balance and stability, and supports your lower back.
Hips – Keep your hips facing forwards and try not to sway from side to side. This can help reduce pressure on your hip flexors.
Feet – Walk heel to toe — let your heel touch down first, roll through your foot, and push off gently from your toes.
