Masculine vs Feminine Walking Style Part 2-Feminine Catwalk Mechanics with Todd Martin MD

In part 2 of masculine vs feminine walking styles, I am going to focus on the mechanics of the female model walk, which is an accentuated form of the feminine walk. Feminine walk is not the same as female walk. Most women walk with the same mechanics as men in their normal day-to-day walk. The feminine walk is a particular "style" of walking than is meant to accentuate the feminine aspects of the female body, most notably the hips. There are three main differences you will see with the feminine walking style. The hips will have an exaggerated side to side movement. The arms will also have less forward movement, and sometimes will even swing behind the body instead of forward. We also see more crossover of the feet. I will examine the body mechanics of the core used in the female catwalk. I will not go into detail on the male catwalk because the mechanics are the same as I describe in my other videos. The feminine catwalk does not use the same mechanics. The hips sway to the side because of the lower ab rotation during the swing through, which turns toward the side of the swing leg during the final part of the step. The hips are also used differently, extending both hips during the final stage of the swing through. This goes against the principles of The Walking Code, which help keep the spine aligned vertically.
