See What Others are Saying

I wanted to share with you my results from the Rock “n Roll half marathon that I did yesterday in Denver. I Chi Walked the 13.1 miles and finished with a new PR of 3:08:26. That is over 7 minutes faster than my last half marathon 7 years ago! It felt great! Thanks so much.

After a surgery I had many complications that compromised my health. I reached out to my ChiRunning Instructor and she taught me ChiWalking which was the basis of my getting in shape again. I eventually progressed to combining ChiRunning and Walking which led to me getting back to solid running. Many half marathons, triathlons and Ironman 70.3 races later, I’m strong, swift and injury free. Thank you!

I didn’t know why my lower back would occasionally hurt while or after long distance walking and the ChiWalking program helped me correct my posture issue. It is a wonderful program!

I want to thank you for ChiWalking. A stroke left me with limited balance and some weakness in my right side. I spent about three years depending on a cane and walker. People now say that they have never seen me look better. I am walking about 2 mile twice a day at 40 strides per minute. That may seem a little slow, but I feel it is OK for a man of 72.

ChiWalking has become our science and our art – a magical way to walk – leading to a more mindful and healthy way to live. We recommend it to everyone whether or not they ever want to walk a marathon – ChiWalking works!
