Unlike everyday morning walking, which you do unconsciously, sport walking is done voluntarily and at an accelerated rhythm.
This sport, unlike hiking, is done on flat surfaces and therefore primarily in urban environments: in parks, on seawalls, in stadiums or even on running machines.
Sport walking can be done at variable speeds according to your personal objectives. Walking speed can therefore vary between 5 and 10kmph (around 3-6mph).
Sport walkers carry out sessions that last between half an hour and several hours. How often you walk also depends on the objectives you have set for yourself; some sport walkers go out up to several times a week.
Sport walkers have two main objectives:
One of the main advantages of sport walking is that it can be done almost anywhere, any time, and doesn't require a lot of expensive equipment: just get yourself some suitable shoes and you're away!
In terms of your body and health, fitness walking is a valuable physical activity as it works out many different muscles in your body. It has all the advantages of other sports such as running or cycling: preventing diabetes and heart disease, burning calories etc.
Walking has fewer drawbacks and more advantages than other sports too, as it is low-impact and accessible to everyone: effectively it's one of sports that is easiest on the body and your joints in particular, and your risk of injury is lowered.
With almost 300 calories burnt during an hour's walk at an average speed of 6.5kmph (4mph), walking allows you to stay in shape, and if you want to burn even more calories, you just have to speed up: 380 calories/hour when you go over 8kmph (5mph)*! In order to give you an idea of what this represents, it is the equivalent of the number of calories burnt when you run at the same speed or participate in a one-hour fast dance or aerobics lesson at the gym!
All you need to do now is make yourself a training schedule!
