Secrets of the model gait

Many girls dream of a model runway, of fashion shows where they, beautiful and irresistible, will proudly and easily walk the path to fame… Stop! But in order to move exactly this way, confidently, easily and gracefully, you have to work on what is called a model gait.
           
It is this kind of gait that attracts the attention of others to you, makes them admire the smoothness of movements. Gait is able to reveal many of your secrets - your state of health, degree of self-confidence, popularity and status in society. And even how tired you are. The first secret of a beautiful walk is your emotional state. Even mild anxiety or stress can lead to muscle tightness. In this case, it is useful to learn to abstract, to distract yourself from sad or anxious thoughts so that they do not interfere with you. It is also worth mastering the techniques of self-regulation - self-massage, breathing exercises. They will help you get back to normal quickly.
           
The second important point is your posture. It is not difficult to “fix” it, at least for a while. Stand up straight (preferably in front of a mirror). Take a deep breath and straighten your back as you inhale. Stretch from the top of your head to the small of your back. Tighten your abdominal muscles - so the whole body will be in good shape. The center of gravity is evenly distributed throughout the body. The upper part of the body is fixed. When walking, you do not need to raise your head high or look at your feet. Reach up with the top of your head.  Keep your eyes fixed in front of you, on the horizon line. Your arms should be relaxed - but not hanging or dangling along the body! Remember: relaxation is not equal to slackness. And yet - too tense hands immediately betray your fears and nervousness. It is better to put your hands behind your hips (but slightly), place your palms parallel, and press your elbows slightly against your waist.
           
Now let's talk a little bit about hip movements. It is not worth shaking them, unless the model passage requires it. If you “wiggle” your hips too much, then the whole body “goes haywire.” Try this method. Take a step- first move your hip, then your knee, foot and slowly lower your foot from heel to toe. Remember the rule of the podium step: the legs are rearranged exactly in one line! Determine the length of the step: it should not be too wide - it looks too brutal. But too small too - then the gait will be mincing. Try to determine the ideal length for you in practice and always follow it.
           
​But the most important thing is self-confidence. Even if your gait is not perfect yet (remember: perfection does not happen, although we strive for it), your inner attitude can move mountains. So, straighten your back and go ahead to conquer the world!
