Duck Walk
How To Duck Walk
The Duck Walk is one of my favourite Animal Moves and is certainly more challenging than it looks! As you probably guessed this movement snack mimics the walk of ducks.
THE DUCK WALK
I used to suffer from a lot of knee pain—in fact wearing knee supports and taking anti-inflammatories for more than a decade to avoid pain!
The Duck Walk Helps To Strengthen The Knee
Duck Walks are a great way to strengthen the soft tissue and stabilisers around the knee. It may be uncomfortable to begin with but it is worth persevering with.
This Duck Walk movement pattern was one part of the process to help me regain mobility and reduce knee pain in a way that nothing else could match. It is a great way to increase leg strength, flexibility, ankle stability, and posture.
Beginners / Advanced
For beginners, start with a shallow lunge movement, focusing on keeping the knees well above the ground. For a more advanced Duck Walk movement, bend down all the way until your front knee lightly touches the ground.
