Daily Mobility Exercises by Dr. Kelly Starrett › Forums › General › Duck walking, lack of squatting and feet behind my head
I have Kelly’s book and I am a pro member, but I need all the help I can get on my new journey as I am very much a padawan.
So for the past 42 years I have walked like a duck. Full fledged quackery. In return for this, I can also put my feet behind my head and turn my feet backwards. What I can’t do is squat! Or touch my toes! I look like an old woman when I reach for my toes and I literally get stuck half way down in my squat.
So my goal is to squat without duck feet and loosen up my hamstrings to unleash the flexibility within! What I have done is started walking with my feet straight – and wow, does it ache! The outer sides end up tingling half way through the day. I use a lacrosse ball and yoga tune up ball on each foot for about 30 minutes total a day (or else I can’t walk!). I also use them on my ankles. I have a rumble roller to use on my IT band and I do that about every third day. I have bands but I can’t figure out what to attach them to in my house as I don’t have any heavy workout equipment.
So any ideas, suggestions, anything on how to limber up these ankles and hamstrings? Thank you!!

You can hook the bands around a doorknob and then pull the door closed and use that as your anchor. Stair rails can work if they are sturdy (just use the bit at the bottom of the stairs 😉 ). Posts outside on a deck work too, as do trees if you are not shy. Last resort, get a superfriend to hold the other end of your band.
