The Revitalite Your Walk Program
Introductory Video: An illustrated video of the steps and process of revitalizing your walk.
The Basics: This lesson focuses on good walking posture and biomechanics. You will learn how to to reactivate good but suppressed neuromuscular patterns. It involves slow walking with an emphasis on getting the parts right.
Pulling it Together: Here, the focus is on combining the essential postural and mechanical components into a unified walk. The music helps you use a longer stride and walk a little faster. You will begin building strength and neuromuscular patterning to make this your way of walking.
Grooving to the Music: The goal of this lesson is to build up habit strength for your revitalized walk. It is a slightly faster pace that will begin to give you a better cardiovascular workout.
Cruising to the Music: The goal is to let the music fuse together the whole walk, to make it more automatic and fluid. You will be walking faster and increasingly making this your “everyday walk.”
The Build to Longer Strides: The goal of this walk is to lengthen your stride and get you walking faster. You will alternate between a comfortable pace and a faster pace that requires a longer stride.
Moving on Down the Road: The goal here is to walk faster with good mechanics and build cardiovascular fitness and strength.
Walking Meditation: By now, your walk should not require much mental attention. In this lesson, you will begin doing a form of walking meditation. It will shift your mental focus away from walking mechanics and any mental rumination you may be doing. A neuroscience-based “hack” will help you shift your attention to the outside world. As you build the attentional ability to sustain this walk, you will strengthen your ability to suppress stress and anxiety and enhance your creativity and mental acuity.
Your Workout Walk: This is your maintenance walk. With good mechanics that are automatic and with walking meditation, you will keep your physical and mental vitality sharp while getting a good cardiovascular workout. The more you do this walk the more the posture and mechanics of this walk will become your “everyday walk.”
