What is Power Walking?

Thousands of doctors recommend it. Hundreds of studies extol its benefits. It's simple. It's enjoyable. You can do it virtually anywhere. And, when it's done right, walking can blast away fat as fast as jogging--maybe faster. Even better, walking is easier on your joints, since you hit the ground with less than half the force you do when you jog. As a result, you're less likely to have your fitness goals sidelined by soreness or injury.

The secret is shifting from the typical window-shopping stroll to a more athletic gait and pace. It takes a little practice, but the payoff is a lower-body makeover that'll definitely put some strut in your step.

Power walking is walking at a speed at the upper end of the natural range for the walking gait, typically 4.5 to 5.5 mph. In this range walking and jogging are almost equally efficient, and the walking gait gives significantly less impact to the joints.

Power walking has been recommended increasingly recently (see, for example, articles by Kenneth H. Cooper) as an alternative to jogging for a moderate exercise regime (say 60% of maximum heart rate). When used in this way, an exaggerated arm swing is also often used.

To qualify as power walking, as opposed to jogging or running, at least one foot must be in contact with the ground at all times.

Power walking is also known as speed walking.
