How to Race Walk

[BradleySuarez]

I'm a 43 year old fattie.. I'm going to start eating better and try a combo of racewalking and powerwalking since running would be to hard on my old joints. I don't think I can walk on my feet the same way you do because I have low arches. thanks and love the way your hips sway, hubba hubba...:)

[svendee535]

@firstdaddy....relax the whole idea is pure crap

[NarrowMindedNick]

I am very surprised a brand like Livestrong is endorsing this. Definitely made my perception of the Livestrong brand plummet.

[cyrix01]

She gonna ruin her feets by walking on the sides of those feets like she do..

[tootbware08]

It looks funny because she bowlegged causing the pronation. The arms swinging...a little too much.

[mepoohe]

Thank you!!

[firstdaddy]

This is all wrong. The form she is trying to use is pure crap.

[TrainedBats]

Fail... Don't bring your arms up that high and there's no drive from the back leg

[callmern]

this is the complete wrong way to race walk.

[butter788]

wtf is the point of having a race while walking? isnt that and oxymoron? cause a race is defined as a contest of speed and walking is slow?

[0nePumpChump]

@butter788

Walking is a particular type of gait, where you never have both feet off the ground. You can actually run at a slower pace than many people walk. When I was in the Air Force, we called it the "Lackland Shuffle." As long as you get both feet off the ground (and it's a symmetrical 1-2-1-2 gait, not skipping) it's running.

[balivernes1]

THis is NOT racewalking (or even correct 'speed walking'). Arms way too high in the front, weird walking on outside of foot (and so on). (There are racewalking parody videos on here that do a better job of it!)

[avenged7xguitar]

At least she's hot as fuck.

[MsCandyme]

no, no, no. im a USTAF racewalker and the person is bending her knees! she would be disqualifed at once. i can verify that the woman wasn't racewalking at all, nor was she a racewalker. So PLEASE do NOT follow this video about racewalking.

[dragowoo]

@MsCandyme can you please tell me which one is more demanding on cardio? Racewalking 400m in 1min30s or running 400m in 1min30s? I really wish to know because I wish to learn racewalking if its more efficient in conserving energy yet still enabling me to maintain my running pace during marathons. Thanks!

[bigE1983themonsta]

she is a beautiful black woman, so sexy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and it looks like she could b a jackson lol

[lypn8r]

This is a very inaccurarate depiction of how to race walk. This is NOT how you race walk! Jefferson Perez doesn't walk like this! Nathan Deakes doesn't walk like this!

I do not walk like this!

[raficsulejmanovic]

Janet Jackson!



[ereugene13]

camel toe. O___O

[unorgurlzball]

sorry girl, that ain't racewalking

[IRISHMIKE62]

no kidding!.....look how bowl-legged she is! makes my knees sore just watching

[jord8609]

cracking legs and fanny area..lovely shape.

[TXLPE]

Sorry, but that is NOT racewalking!

[walkabike]

Great video!

I thought this might interest you.

WALK-A-BIKE makes it easy to walk or jog long distances with the bicycle at his/her side. Walk your max without the worry of not being able to make it back due to, foot pain, leg cramps, or just plain fatigue. When you reach your maximum walking/jogging distance, just bicycle back. Adding bicycling to your walking fitness program provides a more diverse exercising routine.

IT’S ALL ABOUT LOSING WEIGHT AND GOOD HEALTH!

[TXLPE]

Why all the foul language people?

[Keani15]

WTF WAS THIS???

[zencat999]

NO IT PHUQUINGGG ISNT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[allwedoissell]

She walks like my lady!!!

[tommsmithhh]

@mandapandapop shut up bitch

[mandapandapop]

@tommsmithhh I love you <3

If you'd like me to take it back: I believe that this video is not racewalking, but speedwalking.

Thank you and goodbye.

[evanboy101]

(falcon731boy)if yo want to be good you have to be able to do a 4 minute kilometer and put 4.30 minute kilometers back to back!!the American walkers you see in some videos are shit.I'm 14 and I would hammer the lot of them!!

[evanboy101]

(hughchief42)fuck you I'm a racewalker

[tommsmithhh]

@evanboy101 your also gay, what of it

[blakkjack21]

Thanks for the info on proper race form from the racewalkers out there, but I don't think the intent of this video is to get anyone into competitive racewalking. This is just a video for people who want to take their cardio up a notch w/o getting into jogging/running.

[highchief42]

What a joke this is for fatasses and old ladies who cant run.

[rafalweb]

@highchief42

And for people in good shape with bad knees, dude.

[buzznevada]

@highchief42 At 75 yrs old I want to see you still running If you are so good why are you not an elete runner. And by the way for being 75 and at 148 lbs and racewalking 10 km every other day I would love to see you do that since you are not a fat ass.

[highchief42]

@buzznevada who says I'm not an elite runner? No but seriously I'll be dead long before I'm 75.

[falcon731boy]

how fast is racewalking normally?

[TheMarkYoung]

It would have been nice if they Lance Armstrong would have gotten a racewalker to do this. I guess a car driver is now going to tell us how to bike to win the Tour.

[athenakitty3]

that doesnt look no harder than running.shit let me be a "race walker" i'd make the olympics.i run track and that aint hard.I have a friend who does it and she showed me how to do it.she had been doing it for 3 years and the first time i tried i beat her, so yeah.

[racewalker9999]

@athenakitty3 k but how fast is she. I know people that have done it for a long time but still don't go very fast. And then if you want to make the olympics 6:30 kilometers for 20km. Good luck.

[lucidparody]

Race walking burns 10-15% more calories than running.

[allWeNeedIsAWideR]

"race walking is cool because it always you to go much faster but still with smooth movement"...good one

[SRP13579]

fuck look at those guns!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[acapulcojay1]

This video has very good, concise instructions and good technique. Thank you for sharing this information

[JoseCanSing]

wow losers try running or any other sport thats not completely retarded

[Fleefles]

Race walking is harder on your body and more of a workout than running

[DucatiChica]

She has an awesome body, wow! I am a runner and I wish I had your body girl.

[wcub4]

This is the most retarted sport ever. She shouldn't be promoting this crap.

[esil912]

Thank you for sharing this video. I thought I was getting closer to my power walking but she showed me differently! Nice walk!

[xcelpast]

she looks like how a fat person walks

[DirkXXVI]

I thought this was a joke that the writers from Malcolm in the Middle came up with to parody power walking. I had no idea it was actually a real sport.

[caseytbelding]

stupidest sport on earth if its even considered one... so pointless.

[posurpal10]

start at 17 seconds D-:

[rayzwocker]

Wow, that was really awful! This is closer to real racewalking than whatever she was trying to demo in the Livestrong video:

tinyurl (dot) com/mqg64l

[MultiRichard22]

She is NOT race walking!!! This is dangerously misleading...walking on the side of her feet and an exaggerated armswing...she would be disqualified immediately in any race walking competition!!!

[patisgood123]

@MultiRichard22 what an outrage!

[walk124]

Racewalkclinic . com for more information about race walking

[skybluemarshall]

Poor technique. Hey, she's a fitness expert, not a racewalker. She looks super hot in my opinion, but I doubt she does much power walking, racewalking

[jayswafford]

this fitness trainer...is walking on the SIDES of her FEET!

not good for the feet for sure!

[ncfwhitetigress]

yea if she was doing it right she'd look ridiculous and she looks fine to me

[TheMarkYoung]

what the hell was this...has this woman ever been in a race, or even read the rules of racewalking. I would be thrown out of ever race if I followed this advice. Please stay out of the sport. You are going to hurnt someone

[cianmc1991]

Her thecnique is crap

She just looks stupid and isn't going anywhere fast

[gdmedia]

Well, that's one way to racewalk but her technique is not quite the same as that of competitive racewalkers.

Differences: Hands end up right in front of the body, not at ears, arms in close (touch the shirt), forearms up to horizontal in rear. Heel down right in front of body, hip pulls back -- sweeps foot back -- with power, foot stays flat as long as possible and then pops! off the toes from behind. Short gait in front, longer in back. And pull, pull, pull straight back with those hips!
