There are many different muscles involved in walking. Babies that can walk are more commonly called toddlers. The main muscles of walking are in the legs, they include the quadriceps, hamstrings, gastrocnemius, soleus, adductors, hip fexors, tibialis anterior, and peroneus. Other accessory muscles would be the abdominals and erector spinae to help them be erect. And to help with the arm movements to keep their bodies in balance as they walk would be the pectoralis major, latissimus dorsi, deltoids and trapezius. There are so many muscles involved in walking, that many experts consider it the best exercise any of us can do, even toddlers.
