Walk this way....

Many of you have likely seen this great animation of human gaits, but I've never seen it posted here or discussed, so I'm taking the liberty of posting the link. Highly pertinent to our interests, I should think, and a real education. Slide those controls around and watch the transformation.

All the best,

Sandy,
Very intriguing.

Way cool Sandy. Thanks for the link.

Have done a bit of my own research in refining my walk and this tool really confirms the physiological differences in male vs female hip width that produces the mechanical differences. Males hip movement is like a rectangle or box while females are a triangle. I just keep visualizing the triangle while in girl mode.

Certainly need to consider the upper body, especially the tendency to lead from the shoulders, but if the hips move right, everything seems to follow. Most of the time ;)

However, a bit easier to say and explain than to do, consistently.

Thanks again. Hugs.
