Health experts recommend at least two hours of moderate activity, such as brisk walking. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly 145 million Americans walk as a form of daily exercise. Whether it is walking for fun, transportation or relaxation, walking has become a popular exercise. However, the way you walk may be due to underlying health conditions. Researchers found a variety of strides can indicate anything from weak muscles to Alzheimer's disease.
Risk: Weak bottom muscles, leading to back and leg problems.
When we walk we use a small muscle in the bottom called the gluteus medius, which assists the pelvis to maintain stability and keep the leg straight. An inactive lifestyle can leave this muscle weak. According to Dr. John Outhwaite of the London Orthopedic Clinic, when this muscle is weak an individual's bottom tends to wobble from side to side as the muscles relax.
To strengthen the gluteus medius one should try Pilates.

Limping is a classic sign of osteoarthritis. According to Dr. Richard Jones, senior lecturer in clinical biomechanics at the University of Salford, for some women this can also be a sign that you are overloading your handbag. A heavy bag on the right side can compress the right side of your shoulder, which in turn may lead to a longer leg on the left side.

According to Mike O’Neill, of the Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists, if an individual experiences pain walking up and down stairs barefoot, that can be an early sign of bunions forming. Pain signals can warn you that there are changes developing in the joint.Flickr/ colorblindPICASORisk: Vitamin B12 deficiency, uncontrolled diabetes.
Proprioception is when the brain signals the position of the limb. In impaired proprioception, there is a loss of sensation and an individual is unaware of their lower limbs' position. People who suffer from impaired proprioception, tend to lift their feet high and slam it to the ground in order to know where their foot has landed. This can be due to vitamin B 12 deficiency or diabetes.Flickr/Giant GinkgoRisks: Uncontrolled diabetes, sciatica, motor neuron disease, stroke.
People who don't have full control of the muscles in their legs when walking tend to lift their knees higher than normal to prevent the foot dragging on the ground. This can be observed in people with uncontrolled diabetes. A stroke and motor neuron disease can also damage the muscles.
