Of course, such a thing as walking with an absolutely straight an is impossible there must be some bend. But as the leg comes back at the finish of a_stept the knee is locked, and the leg is kept as straight as you can keep it.

-Most of the speed, as well as extra distances and much power comes from the hip "swing. And, yet how seldom one sees a walker who uses it. Watch them plod along, thrusting one leg out after another, the hips kept practically on a plane 1411 the while. Put your hips into your walk; let them swing freely with the advanced leg. You will notice that you are covering more ground and covering it more ea,s4y than you ever did before.
