If you’re looking for a low-impact endurance sport, race walking is a fantastic option. It’s all about speed walking with specific form rules: one foot must stay in contact with the ground at all times, and your leading leg needs to stay straight from contact until it passes under your body. Start by mastering the technique with short walks, focusing on posture and hip movement.
You don’t need fancy gear to begin, just a good pair of walking shoes with firm support and comfortable clothing. Local walking clubs or online training programs can help guide your progress and improve your timing. As with any endurance sport, consistency and patience are key. Need support or tips?
