Race Walk 101 - How-to and Learning the Basic Techniques for Racewalking - Advice from Coach Carmen

Olympic-style race walking has been an event in the modern games since 1908. The rules are simple:
1. Land with a straight knee that remains straight until the hip has passed over the supporting leg and;
2. Keep at least one leg in contact with the ground at all times.

While judges determine your ability to maintain correct form in official races that range from 1500 meters - 50,000 meters, many walkers simply enjoy this full-body exercise for an awesome low-impact cardio fitness in their neighborhood.

Coach Carmen has been race walking since 1986 and loves teaching the basics of this sport. She owns Reshod Walking Shoes, a brand that offers footwear technology for walkers of all speeds and distances. Visit reshod.com for more information and be sure to subscribe for more videos like this.
