ANASTASSIA KHOZZISOVA
Hi. My name is Anastasia Khozzisova. I've been working on the catwalks since I was 16. There's nothing sexier than a woman in a pair of beautiful stilettos. Unfortunately, so many women doesn't (SIC) know how to walk. I'm going to show you how to cross walk on runway. Here is (SIC) the four tips, I will teach you. The first is how to move your hips. A big mistake with most of the girls that they cross too much so they sit down on the hips, so the bone is coming out. Don't do that. There is like a roundness. There is no like, [demonstrates] I don't go like that. Keep your body from here to here, no movement. Your movement comes from here. Then move from side to side, and you have to pull them.
This is something for your energy. Put your arms like this. Make them strong, so they don't move. One, two, one, two, you touch with your hips.
Tip number two is the position of your head. When I started I was having this problem. Most of the time when you walk on runway, you do like this, [demonstrates] and you don't even realize that. Keep your head back and chin up. That's the most important thing. This exercise will give you balance and confidence. Try to not go too fast. One, two, three, four, and try to nod as straight as much as possible. Very good, first of all, for your muscles, here, it's very good for your neck. The neck has to be relaxed all the time.
Tip number three, practice walking on your toes. You do like this, [demonstrates] you stretch your thigh, and you step but you don't on your heels, like, you don't go down that's why you have stretch your arch. You go in one line. This is what you do to walk on toes. This is how you train your muscles. You put your arms right here, [demonstrates] and you push your shoulders down. Up on your toes and down. That's very good for balance and that's one of the exercise (SIC) which also works all your muscles on your legs.
Tip number four, the movement of your arms. Movement of your arms goes from here. [demonstrates] It's like a watch. If you see that, this is like this. [demonstrates] And so, what do you need to do, it's a great good exercise. You can try when you walk or you can do just like this. And one, two, three, four. One, two, three, four, that's basically relaxing that muscle of your shoulders plus, when you already go for runway, when you do positions, this is how you do the pose. [demonstrates] This is for your picture. In fact, you can apply much of this to your real life.
These four tips are a basic part of the walk. Hips, head, toes, & arms. These are the tips so you can walk like a supermodel. Let's go.
