Description:
Biomechanist Katy Bowman, M.S. and fascia expert Jill Miller present Walking Well, a course that breaks down gait into its individual elements, addressing each part with biomechanically-informed exercises and science-backed rollouts (self-myofascial release). You will work to improve measurable aspects of your gait cycle without losing the bigger picture of how it all fits together.

Just about every medical and health professional recommends walking for basic healthcare. But what happens when walking hurts? Or starts to feel unbalanced or unsafe walking on natural terrain? Can’t seem to make progress when it comes to walking longer or farther? We break movement down into six modules to work on the alignments that optimize your lever systems for better force production and balance:

1. WAKING UP YOUR FEET
2. STRONG & SUPPLE ANKLES
3. THE SUPPORTIVE LEG STANCE
4. THE SWING LEG
5. STRONG ON THE STAIRS
6. STABLE CORE & SHOULDERS

This Fourteen Segment Online Course Contains:

• Six Therapeutic Rollout Sessions
  Jill Miller, fascia expert, takes you step-by-step through targeted therapy ball self-massage sessions that support and prep your body for better movement and gait.
• Six Exercise Sessions
  Katy Bowman, biomechanist, addresses movement patterns of a dysfunctional gait and presents exercises to correct and reinforce a healthy gait.
• Pain Relief Techniques
  Learn proven strategies to help identify and mobilize injured or stiff body parts to increase range of motion and improve gait.
• Bonus Segments & Gait Tests
  Each segment includes a gait test to help track results, and the program concludes with two bonus workout segments (one rolling, one exercise) to support and integrate your learning

This program is accessible to any fitness level, and provides practical application to help make new strides. Walking Well offers a guide on how to walk longer time spans and take on more challenging distances and terrain. Learn proper form to efficiently carry weight, like a backpack, and manage steeper inclines and terrain changes—all from the comfort of your own home.
