I just want to thank you for sharing so clearly, without any hype or promotion. You are obviously a true student and becoming master of bodily movement, and this is some of the highest quality content on youtube.

You have very important content. I'm glad I found your channel.

Wonderful! Since summer 2021 I started to do rope skipping and this changed some things in a very positive way. 1. Endurance increased a lot, especially for the glutes, the calfs. After shortening the rope to the correct length, it became easier for the upper body, especially for the shoulders, but more intense for the wrists and forearms, which increased their endurance, too. 2. I do it in barefoot shoes and I realize and observer how I land with my feet and yes, I land with the lateral/outer edge of my feet and my heels won't touch the floor. This improved my running a lot! I am able to observe and to correct much more easily the way I run in my running sandals. 3. My cadence while running increased and the impact (measured by the accelerometer of my smartphone) decreased. The stride is more constant and a bit longer. Combined with "your" Windchill style I can lower the impact per step a lot. 4. The endurance needed for running 20K with a cadence of 180/Min developed over the last months a lot! But - at the average I do rope skipping with three different ropes (PVC 100g, beaded, 130g, beaded 300g) almost three to four times a week with an overall time of ca. 60 Minutes. Just for fun! I don't want to miss it - half a year ago, I wouldn't have thought I would say this!

You’re brilliant mark

Excellent explanation, my deepest gratitude

Found your channel yesterday and I appreciate your clarity and examples. Thank you!!

I appreciate this video - I've been jumping rope for a few months now after a random video that promotes jumping rope. This is a greater explanation as to why jumping rope is helpful. Now if I can find a calisthenics community...

Amazing

thank you for this. please continue to share more tips for getting back into a natural walking pattern and posture. Please also create some videos about fixing shoulder impingement and shoulder stability

Excellent work my friend 👍 new friend here 👍 keep rocking 👌

Love your content. Hope you get more views!

As long as the object can move under your weight it is relatively easy to walk on stony surface. It's more difficult if there is a solid surface just below so the stone can't be displaced. It's the problem I get while barefoot running on concrete footpaths where there are tree seeds that you have to navigate through.

Yessirrrrr!!!!! Keep up the good work!

You have a great physique. Can you do some videos on how you built it? What exercises and routines.

I have a cross rope … I ordered some minimalist shoes , I’ve always wanted to work out at home with my shoes off but I was scared I’m going to hit my feet , but I’m going to try this until my shoes come in .. I want to practice walking/jogging in them since I’m out of shape, cardio and musculoskeletal wise, I figure this is the best time to start where I can have patience with myself

Hi from Italy! Your videos are amazing! In my country there are not video with this quality of information! One question: do you have an instagram account?

Very detailed video extremely helpful I’m very grateful that u have created ways that we all can improve our foot health at home as long as I’ve been going to doctors I’ve never been give the advice or exercise tips with explanation the way u have given I also have my children look at your videos because they all have the same issues I do so thank u agin 👍🏾♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Do you do any virtual coaching? It would be nice to get some tips on my gate. One of my feet is more pronated than the other, and I have been struggling with it for years.

Great video. Love jump rope, except when it hits my barefeet 😳

I’ve been enjoying your videos for about one year, however, I think you’re missing a piece of the walking puzzle. That piece is to use the “windlass mechanism” for the entire time your foot is in contact with the ground. Land on the lateral arch, pronate over the transverse arch and launch of the medial arch in one smooth movement. Heel contact is counterproductive. I’ve being doing that since July 20th of 2018, walking an average of 5 to 9 mikes and have eliminated backed pain and tight glutes, while strengthening my entire body. It’s way too much work for normal people, so I’m just putting this out there for the odd person that might be ready to learn how to walk and run the way our bodies were designed to. It took me 11 months of 5 miles a day, with sore feet while they strengthened, to walk without it feeling like a workout. I’m 58. 💕

If I have problems with my knees and can’t jump rope what would be the alternative. Thanks Donna

“You’re gait cycle demands that you have a strong foot and propel through that foot.” #propeldrinks

so by that rationale, landing on the lateral side, with minimal involvement of the big toe means u can avoid getting bunions from this type of exercise if you have pronated feet?
