Hey man I just want you to know this video honestly changed my life. I have been trying to piece this puzzle together watching maybe close to a hundred hours of exercise and physical therapy videos, getting massage therapy, seeing a chiropractor, making my workstation as ergonmic as possible, and still be in pain or fall back into the same patterns. Your videos are life saving and I found this one right before I began to pursue dance classes to try to expand and heal. Thank you for all that you are doing

Man I gotta tell you.. I suffered a fibula dislocation as a teenager and it's been plaguing me for years. My chiropractor can always fix it, but it just slips right out again. I came across your videos and realized I've been heel striking all my life. Even when I run.. Now though, it's staying. I've been walking with my forefoot and everything's changed. Even when I run! So, thankyou. Thankyou for teaching us.

Great! I'm glad you have found it helpful.

The first day I tried walking with forefoot strike my calves and hamstrings were burning so much! I engaged those muscles that has been asleep for so much. But it has been so freeing, and just the day after I could appreciate how natural is walking this way. Now I feel more confident, more healthy, more high and my posture while walking has improoved a lot. I used to hunch my back all the time and had to actively think in order to keep it straight. But now it is just a direct consequence of the more steady and balanced forefoot walking. My lower abdomen muscles used to cramp all the time as I never stretched them, and this problem has disappeared as well. I can't thank you enough. This is life changing!

@@connergalles7106 I’ve been watching quite a few videos trying to learn this technique after more than 50 years as a heel striker. It seem smaller steps are the way to go.

Hey Bro, after a month practicing fore foot walk this is a life changer my back pain has disappeared during my walks, keep the good work up and I will keep spreading the word

I love how you show the demonstration of the pedestrians walking

One day my dude will have 4.35 million subscribers, and it'll be because he gave away more value than the others were trying to charge for. Gratitude for the education and explanation.

hey bro, I stumbled across your channel about 10 days ago. this walking technique has been a life changer for me. I have gone on two long walks, the first went ok but not having the right shoe (zero drop) caused blisters on 3 spots in my feet. the second walk went superbly well. I had to keep reminding myself to strike on mid / forefront first. I'm still trying to make the adjustment as transforming from heal strike to mid section does take time. THANK YOU!

Dude. I wish I had found this video a year ago. This video sums up years of research that I’ve done to try to heal my pain, which no credible doctor could diagnose but we’re reluctant to give mri’s for. You explained it so well.

After having chronic leg pain since going back to the gym for about a month I started doing forefoot walking on my treadmill warmup at the gym today. It felt strange at first but I started to feel capable of going about 10% faster due to the foot positioning alone for the same effort. it definitely pulled in a lot more muscles in my lower back and lit up my legs as well. then I did my workout and so far no back pain. thanks you so much for posting this video.

This is the second video I've watched this year on this, and yours is the most extensive with the most information. I'm SO THANKFUL FOR YOU and for the knowledge & wisdom you're imparting. I've had back issues since I was 5 years old after falling straight down on a seesaw. At 23 I broke my neck and back in a minor way, and have had Yoga save my life in a huge way. In recent years it was the sitting that got me, sitting for hours every day, for months, for repeated years now has caused precisely what you taught here. The movement you teach is what has reshaped my back again. Thank you a million times over.

Bob and Brad videos and then I found yours have changed my life, thank you so much

This video is more important than I realized, because I thought I had changed my walking habit, but watching this once again, I can see that I still have a way to go for reorganizing the way my body walks

At 66 I'm just now learning how to walk! As a lifelong heel striker I have worn out both knees ( 2 total knee replacements ) and can no longer do calf raises. I'll definitely be keeping your lesson in mind from now on! Thanks for posting this very instructive video!

Thank you so much 🙏🏻 This advice was a lifesaver. No more back pain 🙌🏻

You're a champion! Best forefoot striking instruction on the internet. This is a total game changer for posture, back pain, knee pain. I've been dealing with weakness in my abdominals and glutes FOREVER and with this method of walking I see huge improvement in how I FEEL walking. It feels natural again, like childhood, like I'm walking as I should be. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PRODUCING THESE VIDEOS I AM SHARING WITH FRIENDS AND FAM!

hey man! I just realized I was heel striking when a triathlon trainer warned me last week that I ran on my heels. Since then, I started to realize the reason of my lower back pain on long walks and running. I thought I had an issue with my backbone. I even met a physiotherapist several times about it but nobody warned me about my foot strike. So, your video helped me realize it all in detail. All the information is well appreciated. Thanks bro!

thank you so much! this was so eye opening for me , im practising it at the moment and will continue to do so.

Well years of physical therapy and chiropractic care did very little for my lower back. A week of doing this has greatly improved my lower back chronic pain. Wish I would have seen this video much sooner. Thank you very much!!!!!!

Dude this is really great! I stumbled across this video because I was getting into arguments with "Barefoot-Footware YT Influencers" who don't know wtf they are talking about (some of them are even Drs and PTs 🙄). I'm so glad there is at least one person on here trying to help people understand!

Thank you so much and please continue doing these videos to re-educate viewers as much as our gait patterns to alleviate if not eradicate low back and knee pains.. i’ve been practicing all your videos and it has helped me so much.. more power!!

Excellent video. Thank you for this info, stuff I learned when I first got into wearing barefoot shoes but have gone back to heel striking

This makes so much sense! I am really glad I stumbled onto your video!

Thank you .. and thanks to KZread for suggesting this video to me after 2 hours of its upload, I’ve been walking incorrectly for 20 years or so, I really still remember when I suddenly decided to heel walk thinking it was a better way.. Thanks a lot, most of my body issues turned out from this way of walking, Can’t thank you enough.

It is God-ordained that you came on my screen. I need this information. I have been suffering physically. I am internalizing and will be doing this. Thank you!

Wow, excellent explanation of what seems to be a missing link in our understanding. I've been transitioning to barefoot does in the last two years and has never thought that this might also help me avoid boots of lower back pain that I would have about once a year. Many thanks.

Thank so much for such an informative & scientific demo & instruction on walking. It's the best I've ever come across from your videos.

thank you so much! I have low back pain due to scoliosis with spine rotation. i can't walk for 5minutes without feeling pain in lower back. but walking with what you taught here and a pair of soft bare foot shoes, I can walk as long as I like and no pain at all!! I can even release the low back pain with a few steps of forefoot walking!! it is so amazing!!! this is indeed life changing!! thank you very much!😍

I've been walking and running forefoot since I was a child. Some people around me want me to change to heel strike because they think the way I walk looks weird. Glad I didn't change.

People who want you to change something just because it bothers THEM and is not how THEY do it are best ignored and avoided completely

This is soooo underrated piece of information. You have a very intelligent approach to these things, I'm fascinated really. I am flat footed, bad eyesight due to work, had several injuries due to combat sport few years ago (Tore ACLs few times). Because of all of that my back became stiff and fuc*ed up, I can't sit, can't walk. I'm in constant pain. I started to workout again but I noticed that the first thing I needed to do is to reengineer myself to have a functional frame that is able to function properly (I study mech. engineering, so It was very natural for me to come to that conclusion, that's why I don't focus on building muscles primarily anymore). Everywhere I tried to look for an answer I noticed that nobody focuses on stuff like this. And doctors don't know sh*t either. I'm going to watch all of your videos from now on. Keep doing this, you are needed! Best regards from Croatia. And thanks, wish you all the best in life!

This is insane how awesome this infornation is.Thanks a lot man. I was in agony all day and although still sore, this helped.

Changing my gait has dramatically improved my life. My chronic pain is now gone. I can’t thank you enough.

Dude, you're a genius! I have a slight lombar scoliosis and I feel that my right leg is slightly angled towards the outside - the tip points more to the outside than symatrically as the left foot's tip. I can even feel that I'm not straight and symetrical and chyropractice sessions didn't fully help either. I'll start walking like this starting from today and balange my lower back! Much love from Romania and keep up the good work!

The hest!! This is better than yoga for knee pain!! You are the man!!!

Thank you for a great video. I am transitioning to barefoot now and your videos breaking down the interconnectivity of my toes up into my abs and back is SOOO helpful. Decades of conventional shoes have left weak and compromised toes, feet, lower legs, super tight hamstrings, accompanying pelvic tilt, week hip flexors, and tight lower back. Your breakdowns have been and continue to be very helpful in my recovery. Thanks again.

Thanks you so much! I am a Personal Trainer and suffering from knee and SI joint/back pain for years. Tried so much, and ending feeling dumb because proper movement is my job, but i couldn't do it myself. I Just couldn't find the link between my heel landing way of walking and my injuries. Your explanation about the QL taking over the job is so spot on. Thanks a lot!

You have the best videos I’ve ever seen to demonstrate proper walking…wearing heavily cushioned shoes my whole life I now realise has encouraged laziness…because we rely on the cushioning instead of proper form. I’ve always had problems with shin splints and pain even just walking - and seeing this it’s no wonder. I hope it’s not too late for me because I’ve always wanted to run but injuries have put me off.. you’ve made me aware of what should have been obvious all along. Thanks again for these great videos!…

Love your stuff!!

after more than 20 years of backpain and inactivity the day before yesterday I picked up a pair of barefoot shoes (vibram) and started learning from your channel... thanks for all the phantastic lessons in your videos. 🙂 I see it as a kind of walking meditation, fully focused on posture, movement and sensations in my body. Sometimes it still feels like I am walking like a marionette, but I believe after a few weeks of practice it will feel naturally. Backpain seems to become better already after the first 10 km of very slow and conscious walking practice.

Thanks for this video 🙏❤️❤️

The detailed comparison is very helpful, thanks! It will take some practice to adjust to forefoot walking, but I think it will be well worth the effort.
