Mindsip insights from this episode:
Recognize walking's complexity to improve movement freedom
Neurologically, walking is more complex than running, which is why some people run more freely and with less pain than they walk, as the speed hides underlying movement restrictions.
Utilize heel drop to enhance blood circulation to the heart
The strongest pump for returning blood from your legs to your heart is the action of dropping your heel into the step when you walk.
Recognize unpredictability of pain location in postural issues
You cannot predict where pain will show up based on a postural issue like a forward head; it could be your neck, back, knee, or even the sole of your foot.
Correct forward head posture to reduce spinal strain
A 15-degree forward head posture more than doubles the effective weight of your head on your spine from about 5 kilos to 12 kilos.
Improve breathing mechanics to address stress incontinence
Every woman the speaker has seen with stress incontinence also has poor breathing mechanics, suggesting a strong link between the diaphragm and the pelvic floor.
Experience internal massage through walking's natural motion
The natural twisting motion of walking provides a gentle, internal massage for your organs.
Walk on a 40mm rope to enhance foot mobility
Walking on a 40-millimeter diameter rope is a highly recommended exercise to improve foot mobility and function.
Give your painful side a break to restore balance
Often, the side of your body that hurts is the one doing all the work, and it needs a rest while you wake up the other, less active side.
