Your feet are made for walking, and that’s just what they’ll do - one of these days these feet are going to walk all over town. Such good exercise not only for your muscles, but the heart and lungs and the brain is enhanced by it all.

There is a standard goal is to walk 10,000 steps a day - that’s equivalent to 5 miles. When a client tells me their accomplishment I say great - show me your feet. Oooh. Sometimes those feet are not in their best shape to walk that far. So, then I say - walk the length of the studio. Uhm. If the feet are not working, up the kinetic chain (knees, hips, all the way to the shoulders) are compensating if the feet are not happy. Usually, there are just a few tweaks here and there and most people are ready to walk in a way that they get the benefits of walking - rather than sore, stiff knees, low back discomfort, or hips complaining.

In this workshop you will learn many aspects about how to care for your feet, how to prepare for your 10k steps, and what is happening up the kinetic chain. You’ll get a gait analysis and individual program to enhance your walking (or running).
