Walking is a great way to keep fit, do your 20-30 minutes exercise per day and help you keep trim. You might have seen the new Safefood measuring tape promotion hightlighting the concern that 2 in 3 adults in Ireland are overweight. Well walking is a great way to get fit and reduce weight. As we grow older we also need to be thinking of how we can keep fit and active so that we enjoy a healthy lifestyle into old age.
Chi walking is a good way to help you walk without injury and more energy efficient and by that I mean you will walk the same distance in less time and feeling invigorated as opposed to tired or you will find that you can walk farther and feel good.
Many people walk with splaying feet, land on their heels causing heel strike, push off the balls of the feet, swing their arms in side way motion putting pressure on the small of the back, lean at the waist, lean backwards and do many other things, making their walking difficult and so inefficient.
Your posture is so important and in Chi walking I teach people how to set themselves up, get into the best posture, walk with their body mass ahead of their feet and swing their arms in an efficient manner. The results have been great. One of my recent clients couldn't believe how effortless it was and said 'I could walk like this all day'. The idea is that you do walk the chi way all day and it's easy!
I'll be organising half day Chi Walking workshops for all ages soon, so become a Blog Follower and receive notification details.
