Here is what people are saying about the Chiwalking : The Five Mindful Steps for Lifelong Health and Energy

"Chi Walking a great read"	2009-10-21
- Reviewed By User: A1PB7WH9G7MDU0
I have the Chi Running Book and have even taken the class and I knew I wanted to understand the Chi Walking technique. This method is completely injury free. I have never been a runner or a great walker and this is enabling me to do both with no pain and definite gain. I highly recommend this book and methodology.

"A different kind of walking"	2009-06-26

Who would have thought that by changing the way you have always walked you could alleviate pain, add to your endurance walking and enjoy this very normal form of movement. Simple to follow steps to improving your main mode of transportation. Very enlightening. I want to take the instructors course and teach others this method.

"Wow... I can finally walk again and without pain"	2009-06-21

I purchased this book and it has surpassed all my expectations. I have osteoarthritis in my feet, knees, hips, and back, but I always loved to walk. Before this book I had to stop walking. Now I am back, walking 6 miles a day and without much pain... This is amazing. I feel alive again...

"Great Gifts"	2009-04-28

I believe everyone should be active and avoid injury as much as possible. I purchased the books and gave them away as gifts to my friends. I received good comments and they are starting to apply the principles of chi walking now.

This book makes walking fun as well as healthy. It seems that whenever I walk now it's not just walking it's working my body the way I want to.

"Danger of knee injury"	2008-08-20
- Reviewed By User: A2041Y0UXWMAPA
Chi Running is one of my favorite running books because it taught me to run in a way that is effortless and natural. In Chi Walking, running coach Danny Dreyer applies the same principles to walking, but in my experience this does not work. The basic method in both books is to let the body tilt forward slightly so gravity pulls you along. In running this works fine because your feet land more on the toes thus absorbing the weight of the body with no shock. In walking however you land more on the heels or midfoot, so if you are tilted forward falling towards gravity, the full weight of the body slams the knees with each step. After trying this method of walking for half an hour I was feeling this slamming and tension in my knees, and figured I might be doing it wrong. I carefully reread the instructions and made the forward tilt very slight, tried to land on the midfoot rather than heel, etc., yet still the knees were slammed with each step, and all my back muscles became tense from holding the slight tilt position. After three miles, I stopped because it was quite clear I was forcing my body into an unnatural motion and damaging it. I looked on Mr. Dreyers blog where he notes that "umpteen" reader have complained that their feet were "slapping the pavement much harder" with this approach. He acknowledges that landing on the heels in this way is indeed "unhealthy for your knees, the slapping can bruise the metatarsal heads." He suggests that a change of technique--landing on the midfoot directly under the body, and twisting the pelvis--will completely eliminate this hazard. In my experience this is simply not true. These corrections slightly soften the bow, but there is still a noticeable shock to the knees on each step (the full weight of the body hits the knees at once instead of rocking onto them). Mr. Dreyer as pictured in the book is a very light, small-framed person, so he can probably get way with walking like this. A heavier person using this approach regularly will in my opinion almost certainly damage their knees over the long term (or more likely they will stop using it because it feels so jarring and unnatural). The corrections Mr. Dreyer suggests are complex, subtle and insufficient to fully eliminate the increased shock of this method. In my opinion this is a very risky technique, virtually impossible to use without shocking the legs and knees, hence the one star. Addendum: The day after my three-mile trial of Chi Walking my knees are aching like I jumped off a ledge. Looking through my racewalking books, all advise upright posture, warning that a forward tilt puts strain on the neck muscles and knees. Ron Laird, who won more national championships than any other racewalker, writes in Fast Walking, "Keep an upright posture with your hips directly underneath you... leaning too far forward from your ankles or waist puts extra pressure on the knee joint." I think Mr. Dreyer is unwise to assume the many readers who complained are all doing it wrong. They are alerting him that his emphasis on forward leaning is imbalanced and potentially injurious.
