I strongly disagree with this, you supinate at the end of stance phase, not the beginning, you ought to pronate slightly at the beginning.
If you do not pronate , you will have a stiff forefoot, the heel will not evert and you do not get the natural massage that walking gives to the feet.
@lolland30 I am not sure how to answer this comment as I it does not work as a natural action as you describe or is the statement that the foot does not pronate, correct. If you WALK as a deliberate step as outlined you will pronate slightly at the beginning
@watzzupsport My impression from the video is that you supinate alot and by force at heel strike, and you go back to neutral at beginning of stance, you get alot of weight on the outer part of the foot, and not on the stroner inner part.
You also seem to land very far back on the heel, and thus more to the outside of the heel, which is meant to act more as an emergency pressure point rather than a habitual point for heel strike.
I do not mean that example to be a method of walking, but just a deliberate exercise to create awareness and consciousness of foot contact to the ground. A lot of people walk with no awareness at all this is just a starting point for a greater consciousness of movement and form. If you would like to upload a video of what you are proposing I would genuinely be interested.
@watzzupsport The most important thing is co interplay between how you manage the fall and the "stopping" of the fall with walking, the direction ,timing e.t.c
most important thing is to not stress about it. isolated videos about foot movement can easily get misunderstood imo.
I am by no means an instructor or anything such.
A good approach to walking where heel strike is well described is at
excellent, concise video. I have been looking for exactly this. Everything you find when googling is for running barefoot. Im not into running, but i walk a lot and ive recently started walking barefoot.
@zxsa878 It is more for a deliberate walk to almost massage your feet through a full load dispersant and get you to feel your foot placement and what feed back you get.

all imo, I like other videos you have.

Is this only for practice or whenever you walk? Thanks for the videos!
