Best Walking Technique with The Walking Code-Walking properly is one of the most important things we can do for the health of our body, but many people are not aware of this. The Walking Code explains how to use your core properly for optimal walking technique. The Code uses Tai Chi theory applied to all movements we do in our daily lives, explaining how our waist muscles and our hip muscles cooperate to move with aligned posture and low impact on our joints. Proper walking technique can prevent many health issues, from shoulder pain to plantar fasciitis. The Walking Code was created by Dr. Todd Martin. It is based on the 8 Trigrams, which are the foundation of Tai Chi theory.
The Walking Code defines 8 specific core movement patterns that comprise rotation of the upper waist, rotation of the lower waist, and action of the hip joints. There are 2 directions of upper waist rotation, counterclockwise and clockwise. There are 2 directions of lower waist rotation, counterclockwise and clockwise. There are 4 possible hip actions to power each movement, either flexion or extension of the left hip or flexion or extension of the right hip. The combination of waist and hip possibilities produces 16 combinations of core movement. Not including mirror images, this produces 8 unique combinations. These 8 combinations of core movement are used in all forms of walking, on flat ground, hills, or stairs. When used properly, they keep everything aligned and allow for very low impact on the joints.
