The correct backpack posture for outdoor travel will make your journey more effective, but most people don't know what kind of posture is correct. OEM ODM Backpack Manufacturer will talk about it below.

1. Hold your head up

Straighten your back, hold your head up, and hold your chest high to have a tall and straight posture.

The combination of hunching forward/looking down can make you look like Hunchback and cause lower back pain.

2. Lean your upper body forward

Walk in a straight line from the head to the tailbone, with the hips slightly backward and the upper body slightly forward. This position balances the weight of the pack on your back, letting your hips carry most of the weight. It can avoid hurting the shoulders and waist.

3. Rotate the hips

Swinging the hips back and forth, driving the legs forward, uses the muscles from the hips to the toes, which is the most efficient way to walk.

4. Bend your knees

Bend your knees while kicking off the ground to reduce the stress on your knees. Plus, taking small steps can make your knees a lot more comfortable.

5. Correct arm swing

Swinging your arms while walking helps you maintain your balance as you move. Swing your arms back and forth rather than side to side, otherwise, the twisting of the body will put more stress on the core and lower back.

Hold trekking poles in both hands and adjust them to the length that suits your height (the length of the pole when the forearm is parallel to the ground on both sides of the body)

6. Core force

The stomach, back, and buttocks exert force at the same time so that the backpack can be stabilized above the hips. Effective core strength enables the muscles of the hips and legs to be used for walking; not just adjusting the shaking backpack.
