——————————————–
When walking, the crown of your head and your knee lead, not your chin.
Leading with your chin tends to push the neck forward as shown in the image on the left. This is a common habit in almost every movement. Leading with the crown of your head will help you feel less tense and you will walk more easily. The crown is the highest point on your head that is just behind your ears.
