ABOUT THIS VIDEO
When walking, you shouldn't feel like you're constantly hunched over. You should be able to stand up straight and walk comfortable with relaxed posture. Activate your spinal muscles, butt and hamstrings, and calf muscles with the simple exercises in this video. If you strengthen muscles in your upper legs and lower legs, you'll find walking a lot easier and more enjoyable.

    Don’t worry this is a tough exercise for most! In the rehabilitation profession we use the Occiput to Wall Distance test to measure how much mid back curvature and neck mobility people have! It’s a great assessment tool!

    I can't contribute to the walk a thon right now, but I am sorry you lost your mom last year. I lost my parents in 2010 and 2011, so I understand grief and I'm glad you got some help to walk that road. (pun intended). I just also wanted to say that I really appreciate how you never, ever make people like me with fibromyalgia feel stupid for having to take any kind of exercise super slow. I'm still very young (42) and while I do know a fair amount of exercises that could help, just hearing you say that it is a ok to spread them out over time and that you don't want us to be sore just makes me feel better. I always want to push myself and it always backfires. I have not been able to consistently exercise since my 20's because anything I do just makes the pain worse. Again, thank you for being so considerate to everyone's abilities and explaining everything so clearly and easily and positively. You're the best! Pain sucks, life shouldn't!

    I've watched 4 videos this morning addressing this issue and this is the only one I've bookmarked. I'm 74 and tend to lean forward when walking. I experienced a very painful collapsed vertebrae 4 years ago which complicates my attempts to correct my posture, but I work out at LA Fitness 2-3 times weekly (member for 17 years) to strengthen my back and body overall. I've had some success and can now walk short distances, like grocery shopping, without my walking stick. I've found that a fat, overhanging belly makes it almost impossible to stand up straight, so I'll continue the ongoing battle to control that. I'll also incorporate your techniques at home to enhance my other efforts. Thank you! 😄

    I just started these last night AMF they helped a lot! I'm only 40 but with a broken back and TBI I feel closer to you! I found a Dr who explains how foods effect our bodies in a very easy to understand way. He's helped me pick the right foods, etc. Dr. Sten Ekberg, check one out and it'll help lose that belly. (Me to by the way, it is a hindrance!)

    Because of spondylolisthesis after having a large spinal cord to removed, I can no longer touch my low back to the wall. Can’t even come close! But I can do, what I can do! thank you for taking the time to explain these, you do them in a very nonjudgmental, calm, and timely manner. My father has just had A stroke and is recovering after losing the complete use of his left hand and wrist, and radial nerve damage and also has trouble ambulating. These will be really good exercise for him, and I can do them along with him, to help him be compliant! L O L. Thank you!😊

    0:26: You can correct hunched posture by using your muscles to change the situation. 1:04: Start with the Hunchback posture exercise against a wall, keeping your low back flat and chin tucked. 1:55: Hold the position for about 90 seconds. 3:49: Maintain a straight spine and follow the line of your legs while bending forward. 4:53: Move your feet closer to the wall and squeeze your butt cheeks and hamstrings while bending forward. 5:52: Gradually progress to using a small weight while tracing your legs. 8:18: Start with twice a week and gradually increase intensity. 9:36: Choose a progression that feels doable and avoid overexertion. 10:09: Join the fundraising team for the 2023 Walk for Healing.

    The second exercise is probably one of my favorites and what I use the most with my patients to practice the hip hinge pattern and to help people work on improving hamstring flexibility! I have them do the exact same thing but with a slight bend in the knees! And I love the third exercise not only building your calf muscles but for increasing the stretch on the achilles and back of the thigh. I notice people hold a lot of tightness in the calf muscles because of modern shoe wear people use which are rigid and have too much cushion! This is a great video to get people moving!!!

    After 10 spinal surgeries, seven on my lower back, I will try these. However, with torn tendons in both hips, I have some misgivings about how much more damage I might do. I have scoliosis and spinal stenosis also, but I am game for anything that might help even a bit.

    Hi there. Please answer if you have the time. I'm working on my neck hump for a month now.. Started sleeping on my back without or just one thin pillow, trying to do the exercises you shown in your previous videos. I almost got used to it sleeping on my back, but then i got this idea: What about those orthopeadic pillows? I just bought one but it feels like does the opposit what i should do. Your erars and shoulders should be in a line, right? This feels like it pushes my head forward way to much when i'm on my back. Any suggestions? Should i just skip it and sleepd without a pillow? Thank you.
