So what is ChiRunning and ChiWalking? ChiRunning ("chee-Running") and ChiWalking combine the principles and inner focus of T'ai Chi with running and walking to create revolutionary fitness programs that promote vibrant health, a strong heart, a flexible body and a focused mind. But, you don't need to know T'ai Chi to learn and enjoy the benefits of ChiRunning or ChiWalking. Through easily-learned focuses and exercises, you will:

- Reduce or eliminate aches, pains and injuries

- Promote greater speed and distance with significantly less effort

- Strengthen your core muscles and improve your balance

- Learn great posture: the secret to moving with grace and fluidity

- Tone your muscles without overworking them

- Develop a strong mind-body connection

About Me: After many years of my own challenges with overtraining and injury, I was fortunate to find ChiRunning. My fitness program quickly experienced the benefits of a different approach with the primary objectives of Energy Efficiency and Injury Prevention. ChiRunning has created a more enjoyable and consistent program with more focus on how well I am running or walking, and not directly on how fast or how far. Yet I can now run faster and farther than before with no aches, pains, injury or recovery time - interesting how that works ...

Given the significant impact of ChiRunning and ChiWalking to my own health, fitness and well-being ... my objective is to share the ChiRunning ~ ChiWalking techniques and unique approach with others.

If I can help in any way, please do not hesitate to contact me.

My best to you,

David.
