Your walk is a critical aspect of your female image. Learning how to walk in a naturally feminine way can do wonders to enhance your overall appearance.
Unfortunately, it’s easy to go from one extreme (a masculine walk) to the other (over-exaggerated hip swinging).
How can you find a happy medium as you master your feminine movements? I’m glad you asked!
In this article, I share 3 simple tips to help you achieve a natural, womanly walk. Read on to learn more!
1. Try the Hip Matrix
A big difference between men and women is that women tend to have more fluid body movements.
That means you can sway your hips all you want – but until you learn how to “loosen up” your body, your feminine walk will look stiff and unnatural.
The Hip Matrix can help with this. Created by movement specialist Rob Brinded, the Hip Matrix exercise is designed to release tension and free up your body movements so you can achieve a flowing, feminine walk.
Watch the video above and then try it for yourself. If you compare your walk before and after, I promise you’ll be amazed by the difference!

2. Practice in High Heels
Women have a lower center of gravity than men due to their wider hips. This creates that sexy hip sway that’s characteristic of a feminine walk.
Forcing your hips to sway usually looks unnatural. Instead, practice walking in high heels. High heels change your center of gravity and exaggerate the forward curve of your spine. This helps release the hips, which naturally feminizes your movements.
You can enhance this effect by trying to keep your shoulders still as you walk. This forces you to use your hips for balance.
Once you’ve mastered hip walking in heels, practice the same movements in flat shoes.
3. Shorten Your Stride
Shortening your stride is another easy and effective way to feminize your walk.
The average woman’s step length (the distance from the toe of one foot to the toe of the opposite foot) is 26”. So if you want to be scientific about it, get out a ruler and measure your steps! Your natural stride is probably longer, so work on taking shorter steps.
Note: The higher your heels are, the shorter your steps should be.

There are other subtle elements that define a feminine walk, but these tips are a great place to start. Give them a try and let me know what you think!

I almost got myself into a state of panic the first time I went out, but the moderately high heels really helped me out. I also find that carrying a bulky handbag works a lot towards keeping one’s shoulders still. I am very confident now and have often had the incredible pleasure of mustering a zebra crossing while the drivers waited for the lights to change! I agree also that short steps do increase the feminine touch of your walk.
Sorry lucille but those videos didn’t teach or show me anything in showing how move or walk in proper way it was mostly talk during most of video thanks for trying anyway I’ve been watching n paying attention to how some walk an move do like way their hips and rearends go up n down side to side at same time where others just have one movement I’d rather have mine doing combination thing} zena
Walk with your legs out straight as you walk on the leading leg.
Another great blog! My technique has always been walking in heels (a lot). I bought some 3″ wedge shoes to wear casually and found that they change my stepping a great deal; my steps are shorter (like a woman). Plus they make me feel more feminine out in public.
I do not think that I have any trouble walking like a woman as I am an amateur belly dancer and practice moving my hips in a circular manner on a daily basis. In fact, I think swaying my hips when I walk now is totally natural and I am proud of my modest physical body movement skills!!!
After watching videos and other women ( like models)the way walk in heels. They walk toe to heel in an almost in front of each other to give them the bounce and posture.
if you leave all the junk off after “html” it works. I love my Mac.
I practice with books on my head as well. This improves posture as well.
