This is an excerpt from the Walking Code online course from Dr. Todd S Martin. The Walking Code explains how to use the core properly for all types of walking, including basic strolling, power walking, going uphill and downhill, turning, and stopping. The Core Techniques referenced in the video are part of The Walking Code and are detailed in other videos you can see on this channel.

With proper use of the core, you can keep the spine and the joints of the lower extremities properly aligned. This reduces repetitive stress and wear and tear that can eventually lead to back pain, knee pain, plantar fasciitis, and many other painful medical conditions. The Walking Code is a branch of The Quantum Movement System, created by Dr. Martin. The Quantum Movement System uses an analysis of Tai Chi theory to create a systematic approach to understanding the patterns of core movement used in many different activities, including walking, dance, Tai Chi, and kickboxing.

Reference of Core Movement Combinations:
1: Reach: Extension of the active hip, the upper torso turns toward the extending hip, and the lower torso turns away from the extending hip. This core movement combination is used to change the weight to the new standing leg after heel strike. The rear leg hip is extending, pushing the weight up the hill.

2: Lift: Flexion of the active hip, the upper torso turns away from the flexing hip and the lower torso turns toward the active hip. This core movement combination is used to lift the body straight up once the weight has been changed to the upper leg. This is where most people assume that the standing leg hip is extending when it is in fact actively flexing. It is the extending of the knee, not the hip, that is lifting the body.

Push: Extension of the active hip, the upper torso turns away from the active hip, and the lower torso turns toward the active hip. Push is the last core movement combination used when going up hill. The previous Lift combination is changed to Push by changing the active hip from flexion to extension. This changes the direct upward lifting to a forward movement to complete the step.
