Pulling Vs Pushing-Essential Understanding for Proper Walking and Posture
The hip muscles can create power by either pulling or pushing. Using the correct form of power can determine if you are walking with proper technique or not. Learn how to feel the difference between pulling and pushing and which you should be using to create fluid, confident, and low impact walking. I talk a lot about how to use the hips to pull the body forward, not push. In this video I will help you to feel this movement more clearly. You will see many YouTube videos telling you to push with your glutes when you walk, which is not correct. The glutes activate to briefly after your heel contacts the ground and then should deactivate after your foot hits the flat position. This is demonstrated in EMG studies of walking. The swing phase of gait up until the next heel placement is powered by eccentric contraction of the hip flexors, not the hip extensors. Doing it the wrong way will lead to forward leaning, over-striding, anterior pelvic tilt, and a host of other problems.
