How to: The Airborne Shuffle

I was trying to explain the Airborne Shuffle to someone and couldn't find a video anywhere on the Web that showed what it looked like. So ... here's my own attempt. Feel free to critique. It's been nearly 30 years since I learned the Shuffle. For those who aren't familiar with the Airborne Shuffle, it's commonly utilized by the U.S. military to move relatively rapidly on foot while carrying a heavy pack. Faster than a march (or Ruck; walk or hike for you civilians) but slower than a run, the Shuffle is a low-impact means of foot travel. Low-impact is important because the individual is carrying weight - perhaps as much as 80-100 lbs. Running with this kind of weight can cause damage to joints and tendons in a relatively short period of time. Key Elements of the Shuffle Keep the knees bent slightly; this helps absorb the shock of the foot landing Lift the feet only an inch or so off the ground (notice how the soles of my feet are almost always in contact with the 3"-4" grass) Move the foot forward parallel to the ground and land on the ball of the foot Allow the heel of the foot to come to rest on the ground gently, then lift the foot for the next step Keep the back and torso straight; try to avoid "leaning in" to your pack Keep the forearms about chest high with the elbows out for better balance
