Cheetahs have inspired me so much that I am wanting to make a cheetah costume.
But I figured that before I wear the cheetah costume that I have to be able to run the same way a cheetah does but at 1/7 to 2/7 cheetah speed.
So I have tried to run like a cheetah by getting my limbs into position and squinting my eyes the same way a cheetah does and then start running in a way that I have all my limbs up in the air twice per stride, once together and once far apart.
However I haven't been able to do it. Specifically after the first stride, or even during the first stride I fall on my knees or my belly instead of landing on my hands and feet.
The worse part is that I have been watching videos of cheetahs for a week now so I would think that I would know how a cheetah runs and then be able to do it at a much slower speed than the cheetah.
Do I just need more practice or do I need to change something in my cheetah run(maybe by looking at a cheetah running in slow motion and seeing if I am doing it right) or is a human running the same way a cheetah does but at a much slower speed impossible?
