A Typical Power Walking Session

In this video, we will show you a typical power walking session. You can use this template as inspiration for planning your own sessions.A session usually lasts from 1 to 2.5 hours, and is divided into three essential parts: warming up, the walk itself, and stretching.


Let's begin with the warm up.


  • Before starting, test every joint in your body, from your head to your toes.
  • By waking up your body, you can make sure that everything is alright.
  • You can then move on to the proper warm up. Take 15 minutes to do exercises that will warm up your legs, arms, hips, chest, and so on.
  • We recommend you watch our warm up videos to learn about the right movements.
  • The warm up progressively prepares your body for physical effort and helps you get in the right state of mind

Now let's look at the walk itself.


  • Start walking as calmly as possible for approximately 10 minutes.
  • This will help bring your body to it's training temperature.
  • You can then accelerate to reach your cruising speed.
  • To stay properly hydrated, drink a mouthful of water approximately every 15 minutes.

Finally, the stretching


  • Once you have reached the end of your route, take off your gear and wait a couple of minutes for your heart rate to go down. After that, you can start stretching.
