Interval Striding

Interval striding combines the best features

of walking and interval training. Like walking, interval striding is a natural, comfortable motion which is easy for

virtually

everyone

to

master.

By

combining

walking

with

progressive

hills,

interval

striding

you to

of interval

training.

have

shown

that it is

superior

to steady-paced

training

for improving

aerobic

capacity.

 

By adding incline to striding, you partially lift your own weight with each stride. This is great for shaping and toning the major muscle groups of

the legs and buttocks. This is the same physiology that has made stair- climbing and step aerobics so popular.

Interval Striding Compared to Running

Interval striding has many features that make it superior to running for

most individuals. Compared to running, interval striding is much less

stressful on the bones and joints. This reduced stress is enhanced

through the Lifestride trainer's flexible striding surface. When you run (whether on a treadmill or outside) you leave the ground with every stride and land with three to four times your body weight. With interval striding, one foot is always in contact with the ground, so you land with only one to one and a half times your body weight.
