What are the key points of running and walking?

Running and walking are things we do every day, but many people's running and walking postures are ugly and non-standard. So what are the key points of running and walking? Knowing this, we can be more careful when running and walking in the future, so we won’t fall easily. Next, let’s take a look at the key points of running and walking.

1. Stand at attention

Keep your heels close together and aligned, and your toes spread out more than 60 degrees; straighten your legs; slightly retract your abdomen, and naturally lift your chest; keep your upper body upright and slightly lean forward; keep your shoulders level and slightly stretched back; let your arms hang down and stretch naturally, and keep your fingers together and naturally slightly bent; the tip of your thumb should be placed on the second joint of your index finger, and your middle finger should be placed on the trouser seam; keep your head upright, your neck straight, your mouth closed, your lower jaw slightly retracted, and your eyes looking straight ahead.

2. Straddling

Step your left foot one foot forward to the left, keep both feet straight, keep your upper body in an upright position, and place your body's center of gravity between your two feet. Place your hands behind your back, hold your right wrist with your left hand, and place the base of your thumb at the same height as the bottom edge of the outer belt (top edge of the inner belt); bend your right hand fingers naturally, with your palm facing backwards.

3. Take a break

Extend the left foot two-thirds of the way along the toes, straighten both feet naturally, keep the upper body in an upright position, and place most of the body's center of gravity on the right foot.

4. Stop-and-go method

1. To the right (left) - turn with the right (left) heel as the axis, use force on the right (left) heel and the front of the left (right) foot at the same time to make the body turn 90 degrees to the right (left) in a coordinated manner, with the weight falling on the right (left) foot, and the left (right) foot taking a shortcut to quickly move closer to the right (left) foot to establish a correct posture. When turning and leaning on your feet, keep your feet straight and your upper body in an upright position.

2. Backward: Turn backward 180 degrees according to the method of turning right.

5. Squat

Take a half step back with your right foot, with the front of your foot touching the ground. Sit on your right heel (with your knees not touching the ground). Spread your legs more than 60 degrees, place your fingers naturally together on your knees, and keep your upper body upright. If you squat for too long, you can change your feet.

Stand up quickly with the whole body coordinated to establish a correct posture.

6. March in step

Step forward with your left foot about , landing in the order of heel first and then sole of the foot, while moving the body's center of gravity forward, and move your right foot in the same way; keep your upper body upright, lean forward slightly, lightly clench your fingers, and place your thumb on the second joint of your index finger. Swing your arms naturally back and forth. When swinging your arms forward, bend your elbows, naturally close your forearms inward, and turn your palms inward and slightly downward. The base of your thumb should be aligned with the button line, at the same height as the fifth button, and about , away from the body. When swinging your arms backward, naturally straighten your arms, and the front of your wrists should be about , away from the seam of your trousers. The marching speed is 116 to 120 steps per minute.

7. Goose Step - Walking

Kick out the left foot about 10 cm forward (keep the legs straight, press the toes down, keep the sole of the foot parallel to the ground, and about 30 cm off the ground). Use appropriate force to make the entire sole of the foot touch the ground. At the same time, move the center of gravity of the body forward, and move the right foot in the same way; the upper body is upright and slightly leaning forward; lightly clench the fingers, with the thumb attached to the second section of the index finger; when swinging the arm forward, bend the elbow, make the forearm slightly horizontal, the palm inward and slightly downward, and swing the lower edge of the wrist to a position that is about higher than the lowest button (when wearing summer training clothes, it is about the same height as the third button; when wearing winter training clothes, it is about the same height as the fourth button; when wearing a sailor suit, the upper edge of the wrist is about 10 cm away from the corner of the collar), and about 10 cm away from the body; when swinging the arm backward (left palm to the right, right palm to the left), the front of the wrist is about 10 cm away from the trouser seam. The marching speed is 110-116 steps per minute.

The above is a list of running and walking movement essentials from the perspective of military training. Although we don’t need to do it as standardly as above in daily life, we should also strictly demand ourselves. Only by better regulating our movements can we hold our heads high and chest out when walking, and our backs will no longer be hunched, making others feel that we are more energetic.
