Do You Know How To Walk?

Did you know that you most likely walk wrong?

How You Walk Wrong:
1. Not maintaining proper posture. (Stand up straight)
2. Keeping your arms still. (Swing those arms)
3. Walking duck-footed (with the knees pointed out) or pigeon toed (with the knees pointed in).
4. Walking with your feet too close together. This makes it easy to trip and fall.
5. Taking short steps.

How You Walk Right:
1. Tuck your chin into your neck so your ear, shoulder, hip, and ankle form for straight line perpendicular to the ground when you’re standing still. Avoid arching your back.
2. Do a pelvic tilt. Tuck your buttocks under your body and hold in your stomach while you walk.
3. Pump your arms. Bend your elbows slightly for regular walking, and 90 degrees for aerobic walking.
4. Walk with your feet parallel and use the heel-toe roll.
5. Keep your feet width the same as your shoulder width.

So get out there and walk correctly…

Two Ways To Eat Properly…

It seems that there are two ways to eat and everything else is just barbaric…

* Assuming you are right-handed, hold the fork in your left hand and knife in your right.

* With the tines facing downward (curving towards you), hold down an end-piece of whatever you are cutting (let’s assume it’s meat).

* Do not hold the knife or fork like a dagger, but rather, place your index finger along the top of each utensil, holding each at the end.

* Gently, using a sawing motion, cut the meat near the tines of the fork, so that you have one bite-sized piece.

* Lay the knife down (without allowing it to touch the table), and switch the fork (complete with pierced meat) to your right hand.

* Bring it up to your mouth, chew quietly, and swallow when the meat is sufficiently masticated.

* This is called the American (or Zig-Zag) method of cutting food. The Continental (or European) method consists of not switching hands, and using the left hand for all fork-related activities.
