“IT HAS TO BE 5 STARS! A step by step guide to creating better walking technique. Its comprehensive, sympathetic and friendly. It seems quite daft thinking about learning to walk properly, but exploring the concept explains why after periods of walking, little niggles and pains appear. Putting the technique into practice will take practice, so having commitment to seeing small improvements over 10 days improves confidence and demonstrates how maintaining the technique will improve fitness. I've thoroughly enjoyed the course and will continue to revisit aspects of the course keep on improving my walking.”

“THIS IS THE THIRD TIME I HAVE DONE THIS PROGRAMME and each time I learn so much more. You think you know how to walk but this is a whole new way of walking with so many more benefits. Each day takes you through the different sections and slowly it begins to come together. I feel my posture, balance, tone and fitness has improved so much. I now get out each day and really look forward to perfecting the technique. it is amazing how much you have to concentrate. It has also been so good for my joints too. This is something you can incorporate into your life so easily. Try it. Looking forward to increasing fitness and pace on my WalkActive journey. ”

After the first day I could tell I was using glute muscles that hadn't been for quite some time! ”

Testimonials

What our participants have to say:

“I feel like a new person! Walking more smoothly, more relaxed, with greatly improved posture and balance. A short, daily walk to keep practising all the newly-learned techniques is firmly on my To Do list. The benefits are not just confined to walking either. I feel better than I’ve done for months. Thank you so much ”

Valerie D

“I can't believe the difference. I went back to my original walking style and it felt really strange, sitting in my hips which immediately made my shoulders hunch, my head forward and my eyes looking down. 😏. As soon as I starting peeling through my foot and lifting my hips my whole posture changed and I grew inches. I even found myself sitting up at the table!”

Christine G

“My son joined me for one of my walks on Day 5 of Get Started with WalkActive Programme and he asked me if i was wearing something like a corset today as my body posture was visibly taller 😉 .... he was totally unaware of my Walkactive exercises.”

Frequently asked questions

  • How long do I have to walk each day?

    Each day on the 7 day programme - I'll set a walking task with a specific focus. I'll ask you to practice this in 3 bouts of 10 minutes. These bite size focused sessions are more manageable plus best way to fast track your learning.

  • Can I begin the Joanna Coached Get Started with WalkActive (GSWA) programme at any time?

    Each Joanna Coached GSWA 7 day programme has an official start date. When you book your place on this programme, you'll be part of a group of participants going through the learning process of WalkActive together, providing feedback on your experiences. You'll receive 4 personal coaching feedback videos from Joanna based on your and the groups progress. You'll learn a lot on this course plus you'll also learn a lot from fellow participants and their experiences, significantly enhancing your learning and enjoyment. If you want to start learning WalkActive straight away - check out the Self Guided Get Started with WalkActive 7 Day Programme.
