5 Ways to Walk Like an Elephant

Bad walking posture can lead to leg obesity. Friends who are trying to lose weight should carefully identify their own improper walking posture so as to determine how to improve it. Here are some incorrect walking postures that can easily cause leg obesity.

1. Kick and walk:

Some people have the habit of kicking their shoes or pants as they walk because they are afraid that the dirty water or dirt on the ground will dirty their shoes or pants. When you kick and walk, your body will lean forward, and only your toes will kick the ground when you walk. Then your knees will bend and your heels will be lifted up. Therefore, the waist rarely exerts force when walking, just like taking small steps. If you have the habit of kicking while walking, you'd better be careful not to make your entire leg fat.

2. Press foot and walk:

It is very similar to walking by kicking, but this way of walking with pressed feet means that both feet stay on the ground longer than those who walk with lifted feet. When walking, the weight of the body is placed on the toes and then lifted up.

If this continues for a long time, the calf muscles will become more and more developed, and you will have annoying carrot legs.

3. Walking with the eight characters inwards:

Many Japanese women walk with their feet turned inwards. Doesn't it look cute? But did you know that this inward-turned walking style will cause bow legs in the long run?

4. Walking with the feet outward:

Have you ever seen the way gangsters on TV walk? That’s right, they walk with their feet turned outward. If you have the habit of walking with your feet turned outward, then please be aware that it will make your knees point outward, making you look ungraceful, and your legs will become ugly, or even develop X-shaped legs.

5. Walking on tiptoe:

People who walk on tiptoe actually do so to make their steps more beautiful. Because you put too much pressure on your toes, your knees will put too much pressure on your calves due to the pressure on your toes, which can easily lead to carrot legs.

The above are some common bad walking postures. In order to determine your correct walking posture, you should pay more attention when walking every day! But be careful about walking safety, don’t just focus on your walking posture and forget to look at the traffic lights.
