In-line walking: Benefits, how to & Video demonstration

In-Line Walking: also known as heel-toe walking

Benefits:

1. Enhances core strength by activating abdominal and lower back muscles. In addition, since you’re momentarily on one leg it challenges the muscles of the foot, ankle and hip. These muscles are an essential part of core strength and balance.

2. Improves proprioception (your body’s ability to sense it’s position in space). This awareness helps you respond more effectively to changes in your environment, reducing the likelihood of stumbling or falling even while walking on uneven pavement.

Instructions:

Stand tall with your head directly over your shoulders/Focus on a spot 10-15 feet away at eye level/Place one foot directly in front of the other so that toe of one foot is directly in back of the heel of the other foot/If this seems too difficult then have your feet slightly offset/Then proceed to walk with good posture for 10-15 feet/turn around and repeat.
