Why start to walk?

Recreational walking is a path to an active / energetic lifestyle !

It is then also:

♦ The expression of a healthy way of life
♦ A sensible approach to get rid of problems
♦ Quality family time
♦ A support for a slimming diet
♦ A good form of team building

Categories walking sport

Within the walking sport there are three categories:

1. The recreational group within the walking sports federations in Belgium

There are the recreational walkers who find pleasure in the walking sport as relaxation.

Relevant websites: www.aktivia.be / www.marching.be

2. Sportive walking

Sportive walking (= power walking) is in every way a challenge for sportive people facing themselves.

The target is to shift/ to move your own limits and to enter into the fight with yourself. It's beside the point which speed you have chosen: 5 – 6 of 7 km per hour. But if you participate in this, it will stimulate you to reach the time limit calculated in function of the chosen speed and distance.
