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!
P.S. You can learn more about Rob’s approach to feminine movement in my Stepping Out Secrets Program.
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.
Conclusion
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 have always been limber and athletic so mastering heels took just a few hours and some calf stretching later, grin. I have also long had a heel-toe walk from a habit of balancing on curbs and other things as I was walking. Now I need to concentrate on keeping my shoulders back and down while holding my stomach in,and my head up, walking proud in the person I am. I wear yoga pants with 4″ heels all the time with a variety of tops and never get a second look. I guess that’s good or bad depending on one’s perspective. Heck I live in Alabama and 60% of the real women around me are whales and with a cincher I am 39/28/35 so I am in the minority when it comes to shape, grin.
Thank you, the cleavage in the photo you helped create

Dear Lucille,
Once again I have enjoyed and learnt something from your tips. For the past 4 to 5 years I have spent a lot of time having a glass of wine sitting ourside and just watching women either walking by, and or watching them interact with friends. With regards to walking what I have discovered is that older women (my age group) walk with a less pronounced hip sway, maybe because few of them wear high heels. Younger women (girls) do sway their hips which is very noticeable. You are 100% correct about the shorter steps, and being more relaxed in their body movements. When I first whent out I was terrified, convinced that everybody would know that I was a man dressed as a woman, I was aware I was wearing a bra, a wig and 2″ heels, and although I was excited at being out I now realise I did everything wrong! But thanks to you Lucille with your wonderful tips and pracitcal help, I am getting better every day, even to the point that a man held a door open for me and as I went by he gently patted my rear!
Thanks again and as always I wish you all the very best,
Love, Lesley Ann xxxxxx
