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.

This is great! I cannot get my head back to the wall, nor do any of these movements to their means I need to do these a Lot! Thanks again

[bethclayton]

I was shocked at how difficult I found the head against the wall exercise. I obviously need it. Thanks

[nelliebrown]

Of humor. 🎉❤

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 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!

Thank you man my mother has a hunchback she’s 64 years old. I just started showing her some stretches and showing her how my massage techniques will help her with her pain and I want her to correct her hunchback. I am learning thank you for this video.

Where has this channel been all my life. I need to do these desperately, it looks like the back of my neck is pregnant😆

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!😊

Hospice is a wonderful experience. Most of us don't have any experience with death and often we are shielded from it. I was a volunteer.

[terismidt]

I love these exercises. I've seen so many that have to done on the floor. I can get on the floor but im not so sure I could get back up from the floor. I will definitely try these out. Thank you for sharing them.😊

[sandragruhle]

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.

[marvinvernardojr.]

Thank you so much, this video is very helpful towards my walking without a hunched back and strengthening/waking up my back, leg, and calf muscles for a better and more progressive walk.

Your exercises look very helpful. I will practice them, probably 3 nonconsecutive days per week. Thank you.

[moyrahammond]

I really like your teaching method. You simplify, encourage and add humour as you inform & explain, coaxing us to try harder but with care. Thank you for the info on your dear Mothers’ hospice because if one misses this opportunity we have the details to do so later.
Thank you, great.

Thank you. I'm relearning to walk after years of over prescribed muscle relaxers and your videos are getting me back at it!!
