Benefits of Balance Walking
Fitness:
- Increases core stability
- Activates neglected muscles
- Improves athletic endurance
- Tones and strengthens the feet, legs, buttocks, abs and back
- Helps prevent injuries to tendons, ligaments and muscles
- Makes muscles work harder and, therefore, burn more calories
- Leads to a more relaxed, upright posture improving respiration
- Improves balance
Health:
- Promotes the natural walking and jogging gait
- Achieves better postural alignment
- Absorbs shock to the feet, knees, hips and back
- Strengthens the core muscles
- Improves posture and relieves pressure on the vertebral column
- Increases circulation in the feet and legs
- Strengthens the muscles that support the pelvic floor
- Improves respiration
- Reduces overuse of tendons, ligaments and muscles
- Promotes a stronger, more resilient body, less prone to injury
- Activates the foot reflexology zones
Beauty:
- Increases calorie consumption (up to 50% over walking)
- Improves respiratory and circulatory function, strengthens and improves control of muscles leading to greater relaxation
- Finger-pressure massage effect of Balance Walking innovative shoes (Chung Shi) activates the reflexology zones of the feet
- Improved posture and gait leads to a more natural, relaxed stance and walking and running gait
- May improve or reduce varicose veins
- Improves the appearance of cellulite

Walking as nature intended!
Balance Walking replicates the gait pattern and alignment of standing, walking and jogging on natural surfaces - the environment in which human beings have lived for thousands of years. The paved surfaces of modern life are convenient in many ways. However, they cause us to stand, walk and run differently, often causing our bodies to work in a misaligned position, creating foot, joint, back and even neck problems. Balance Walking gets you back to the aligned position that allows your body to work optimally.
Strengthen and tone muscles!
With Balance Walking, neglected, underdeveloped muscles are activated. Balance Walking puts the body in better alignment, building core strength and stability. The muscles of the abs, buttocks, back, legs and feet are toned and strengthened. Balance Walking is an excellent training approach, as it builds a stronger, more stable body that is more resilient and less prone to injury. And, also targets and strengthens the pelvic floor muscles that weaken with age and pregnancy.
Better circulation means better health and better veins!
Balance Walking increases muscle activity, generating an increased “blood pump” action. This helps to return blood from the extremities of the arms and hands as well as the legs and feet back into the heart. Better circulation means reduced problems with varicose veins.
Enjoy a massage with every step!
The rolling ramp in the middle of Balance Walking innovative footwear (Chung Shi) firmly touches the arch of the foot during Balance Walking producing a finger pressure massage which activates foot reflexology zones.
Relief for back and joint problems!
Balance Walking alleviates numerous orthopedic and medical issues. The unique, patented sole directs the entire body through a more stable, less jarring, natural gait, improving total body alignment. The result is a decrease in joint pressure and a reduction of impact forces, and repeated muscular-skeletal compression at heel strike. Every time your heel strikes the ground, the impact to the heel is 3 to 5 times your body weight. Wearing Balance Walking innovative shoes reduces overuse of tendons, ligaments and muscles, and improves circulation, respiration and the biomechanical function of the entire body. Balance Walking helps the spinal column to return to a natural, relaxed and upright position, and is used by medical professionals to successfully prevent and treat a variety of conditions and injuries.
