The Root-Power, Balance, Stability, and Alignment when Walking. Join Dr. Todd Martin for a discussion on how to create a proper root, or grounding in the leg when we walk or do other standing activities. Having a proper root is key to activating the glutes and other muscles and keeping the pelvis in a neutral tilt and the spine properly aligned. Rooting will also help with balance and stability as well as controlling the transfer of weight from one leg to another. This reduces the stress on the joints that can lead to tendonitis and eventually arthritis. People who think they have gluteal amnesia or quad dominance most likely are just not using their abdominal muscles properly to create a root. For the body to move properly, it needs to have coordination between the glutes and flexors of the hip and the lower and upper abs in the waist. I will demonstrate how you can better understand this, do exercises to improve it, and apply it to the way you walk.

Welcome to our KZfaq video on the importance of having a good root in the legs when walking. In this video, we will be discussing why it's important to avoid locking your knees and how activating your glutes can improve your overall walking experience.
Locking your knees can cause a range of issues such as reduced blood flow to your legs and the potential for injury. When you lock your knees, you put a lot of unnecessary stress on your knee joint, which can cause damage over time. To avoid this, we will show you how to root your legs properly when walking.
We will also discuss how activating your glutes can improve your walking experience. Many people are not aware of how important it is to engage their glutes while walking. When you activate your glutes, you will not only improve your posture, but you will also increase your overall strength and endurance.
In this video, we will demonstrate some simple exercises that you can do to help activate your glutes and strengthen your legs. By the end of this video, you will have a better understanding of how to root your legs properly when walking, how to activate your glutes, and why this is important for your overall health and wellbeing.
So, if you want to improve your walking experience and avoid potential injuries, be sure to watch this video until the end. Let's get started!
