FitnessWalk® is a sports discipline that takes its cue from the most natural motor gesture: walking. It differs from this in the intensity of physical effort required and a scientifically defined technique.It is not a run or jog or even a walk. Movements are driven and characterized by a sleek gait with a long, rapid, cadenced stride. The arms move in rhythm with the legs. The stride starts with the heel in order to absorb shocks to the ground and then continues with the sole, constantly adhering to the ground for stability. Then, with a slight backward push of the heel aided by speed, the foot bends over the toe to the big toe. By doing so, the movement results in a seamless sequence: heel, sole, toe.FitnessWalk® is the evolution of sports walking because it involves:The assistance of a personal trainer or coach who verifies the correct performance of the exercises;The use of wireless headphones, to perform the walk to music and receive instructions given directly by the coach;The incorporation of elements proper to fitness, such as squats, lunges, stretching, step touch, low-to-high skips, exercises for strengthening shoulders, deltoids, knee ups, etc., is a great way to improve the fitness of the body;The inclusion of the “dynamic deep walk,” where the person walks in the lunge) while maintaining a more sustained pace and speed;FitnessWalk® takes place on a 5/6 km course, is interspersed with stationary phases-that is, interruptions in the walk in which the personal trainer has a series of fitness exercises aimed at toning muscles throughout the body-and dynamic deep walks.FitnessWalk® and suitable for everyone, including children 8 years and older.
