Walking posture

Summary

Effectiveness

2/3

A visible effect on the presentation of the body in movement, especially if you walk slumped or frozen. Studies on attractiveness do not define an ideal approach valid for everyone.

Accessibility

3/3

A few seconds of video and a marker to apply during your journeys. No special equipment or separate session is necessary.

Gait contributes to your appearance as soon as you move: your gaze, the way your bust is held and the movement of your arms change the way your silhouette presents itself. The first guidelines are simple: look ahead, head above your chest and arms free to follow your steps.

Film a few seconds of walking at your usual pace, then choose the point that stands out the most. Work on this one marker during your trips, until it requires less attention. The desired result is a more open and fluid gait, where you present your body better while maintaining the way you walk.
