How do you walk?

[The Summoner of Leviathan]

Before anyone says "One foot before the other" kinda stuff, that is not what I mean.

Basically I mean, how do you hold yourself when you walk. Do you slouch, or do you keep good posture? Are your shoulders straight out, or slightly turned in? Do you look down? Ahead? A little of both?

I was thinking about this the other day(while walking). They say each gait of a person is unique. There are actually people developing cellphone security/anti-theft technology based on this.

Personally, I tend to walk slightly slouched, my shoulders are turned in. I look forward, yet my gaze is diagonal. I am also quite the brisk walker. I usually pass everyone on the sidewalk, when I feel like it. That means when I walk with people, I walk at their pace. My brisk walking has to do with long legs and a fast walking pace.

i walk as straight and tall as i can...shoulders pushed back to a reasonable level and fast...fast for me is super fast for most people. i look straight ahead and make eye contact if possible with most people...maybe i shouldn't but whatever.

[Flying Mullet]

I try not to slouch and my pace varies based on my mood or if I need to get some place in a hurry.

I once read that if you hold up your head so that you are looking just above the horizon it helps to keep your body from slouching. I've tried it and it seems to work.

I keep good posture. An I leave my arms by my side, I don't stick them out like some people do. It makes them look like an ape when they do that. An I look forward unless there are a gang of perverts waiting to look at me, then I usually look at the floor to obscure their view, an ruin their sick fun. How quickly I walk depends on what mood I'm in, what shoes I'm wearing, an if I'm in a hurry.

I used to walk extremely fast, all hunched over... it looked horrible.

I actually developed something of a back problem, not like a real physical problem, but it was such a habit that my muscles hurt when I walked upright.

But not anymore. I started running, I practiced working my back muscles, and now I walk upright and quite tall, and I take long strides (I hate it when people are in my way because it pains me to walk slow and to stunt my leg movement. I can't figure out how other people manage either without cramping up), and I also bounce when I walk.

I walk upright, fast with long strides, and I bounce.

I cross my arms and look at the floor as I walk. I lug my backpack everywhere at school, too and I always slouch. It's funny, people try and cheer me up, but I'm not sad, I've just walked this way ever since I can remember.

I'm going to have back problems

[Shauna]

I stand up tall, with my arms crossed, and walk quite briskly.

[Rye]

My posture is pretty good when I need it to be, because I'm so used to having to have really good posture in Honors Choir.

[Twisted Tinkerbell]

I used to slouch a bit, but I don't anymore. I walk pretty slow, and at the moment, in great pain, I just got a huge tattoo on my thigh.

[Leen-Leen]

I try to have good posture when I walk, but I probably end up looking like I'm souching anyways. And I just look straight ahead at where I need to go.

[Shlup]

I probably don't have very good posture. And I walk really slow.

I just kind of cartwheel down the street.

I just kind of cartwheel down the street.

I walk at a quick pace for a reason that I don't know.

[Dreddz]

Years of keeping all my school books in my bag has given me a hunch in later life. Lame.

You're running from something. That'll be $300.[/psychiatrist]
