ChiWalking for Weight Loss

Posted on by
The low-impact health benefits of walking have made it one of the most popular forms of daily exercise and recommended weigh loss activity. Yet few people are ever taught how to walk in a truly healthy way.

ChiWalking transforms walking into a deeply rewarding practice, where you'll experience all the benefits walking has to offer. By integrating movement principles from the ancient martial art T’ai Chi with the activity of walking, ChiWalking creates a unique type of activity that equips you with safe and effective techniques to get healthy.

Walking is the ideal way to get and stay fit. With the ChiWalking program you’ll be able to walk faster and farther with less effort. You’ll slim down and get stronger and more centered with every workout. 

The technique emphasizes the proper biomechanics of walking, including good  posture, loose joints, engaging core muscles, and relaxing your arms and legs. All these factors contribute to the safety of movement, enabling the overweight walkers to move injury free and for longer periods of time without strain. It’s easier on your body and an excellent, pain-free way to get fit, connect with your body and rediscover the part of you that loves to move and be active. 

ChiWalking will also help you enhance your mental and emotional well-being, achieve cardiovascular and aerobic fitness, improve flexibility and range of motion and give you a new lease on life. A regular ChiWalking program combined with a nutrient rich diet will help you release excess weight, improve your health, and calm and nourish your mind and spirit.

Please do not hesitate to ask questions. My retreats and workshops are a great opportunity to get into ChiWalking with the right amount of attention you deserve. I also offer individual classes and coaching, if that is the approach you'd like to take.
