A simple way to determine if your exercise is jarring your head is to put in foam ear plugs. With them in, you will hear the impacts that effect your head. Then, you can determine early in your routine if the exercise puts you at a jarring risk.

You do not need to exercise with the ear plugs. Just use them to check the jarring action.

You can also use them to learn to walk with a smoother gate. Many people plant their heels too hard. This is not only hard on the brain but is rough on the joints in the legs and cushioning disks in the spine.

With ear plug training, you can learn to walk like a dancer or even Grasshopper from the old Kung Fu (David Caradine) days.
