The 'Ostrich Walk'
BW 'front-folding'-range
•
2m 25s
THE WHAT & HOW:
A dynamic, ballistic locomotion pattern which develops the elasticity of the posterior-chain, further to range in front-folding & active compression (when executed with this intent, i.e. active PULLING of the top of the head toward the floor).
Practitioners should be mindful - whilst the range here is scalable to all levels, the repetitive 'pulsing' texture can potentially aggravate any existing spinal herniations or tendinopathy around the hamstrings origin/insertion of which the practitioner may or may not be aware of.

THE WHAT:
A conditioning locomotion pattern innately developing the range of the ankles in dorsiflexion (this comes from the intention working through a maximal extension & flexion each step which both loads in a stretched position, as well as strengthens through the concentric range), front-fold... -
The ‘AT-AT walker’
THE WHAT:
A "high-gait" quadrupedal locomotion pattern inspired by the giant machine ‘AT-AT's’ of the Star Wars universe. Whilst restrictions in posterior-chain mobility can be the main challenge in adhering to the one and only rule in this context, keeping the backside as HIGH as possible throug...
