Additional Information

Want to get your classes working up a cardio sweat without the hassle of complicated aerobics routines? We have the perfect solution! Walking Workouts combine all your favourite aerobics moves with a base walk, allowing participants and instructors to focus fully on the physical workout rather than the mental challenge. These workouts are incredibly versatile and can be easily adapted for standing, chair-based, low intensity, or high impact formats - making them ideal for instructors with varying experience levels, as well as participants of different fitness abilities.

Within the program, we offer over 80 distinct arm movements that can be paired seamlessly with classic aerobics staples like step touch, heel dig, knee lift, grapevine, side tap, and leg curl. This vast library allows you to create countless combinations to keep your classes fresh, fun, and effective.

Walking cardio workouts bring numerous benefits. They’re low-impact, reducing strain on joints while delivering excellent cardiovascular conditioning. You’ll learn how to structure various class formats, from interval-style sessions to sustained steady-state workouts, making it easy to incorporate walking workouts into nearly any exercise class style. Plus, these workouts support weight management, heart health, improved balance, endurance, and even mental wellbeing.

Our program includes a wealth of resources: detailed class examples, creative ideas for integration, and explanations of the wide-ranging advantages of walking cardio. Whether you teach group fitness, rehabilitation, or want a flexible workout option, Walking Workouts offer an adaptable, effective, and enjoyable approach to aerobic fitness - helping everyone from beginners to advanced movers get moving with confidence and joy!
