A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

A revolutionary programme that blends the health benefits of walking with the core principles of T'ai Chi to deliver maximum physical, mental and spiritual fitness.
In ChiWalking, Danny and Katherine Dreyer, well-known walking and running coaches, teach the walking technique they created that transforms walking from a mundane means of locomotion into an intensely rewarding practice that enhances mental, emotional and physical well-being. Similar to Pilates, yoga and T'ai Chi, ChiWalking emphasizes body alignment and mindfulness while strengthening the core muscles of the body.
The five steps of the ChiWalking programme will get anyone, regardless of age or athletic ability, into great shape from head to toe, inside and out. It will help you to:
* Get aligned: develop great posture and better balance
* Engage your core: make back and knee pain disappear
* Create balance: walk faster, further and with less effort
* Make a choice: choose from the menu of twelve great walks such as the Cardio Walk, the * Energizing Walk or the Walking Meditation, to keep your exercise programme fresh
* Move Forward: make walking any distance a mindful, enjoyable experience, whether you are a beginner or a seasoned walker
Praise for ChiRunning:
'This programme willtotally rvolutionize the way you run' Baron Baptiste, author of Journey into Power
'I tell people that ChiRunning is an owner's manual for ayone who has legs and the desire to use them for health and happiness' Terry Laughlin, author of Total Immersion

Présentation de l'éditeur :

ChiWalking will help anyone, regardless of age or athletic prowess, transform walking from merely a means of locomotion to a physical fitness practice that delivers mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being, too. Just as ChiRunning showed readers how to run more efficiently, ChiWalking also teaches how to access the deep power reserves of the core muscles in the trunk of the body, not the relatively weaker leg muscles. As a result, Danny Dreyer teaches the reader how to walk faster, farther, and with less effort to maximize the benefits of walking.
