power-walk

Aggressive fitness walking

Power-walk is a fitness activity that involves walking at a brisk, vigorous pace, typically with exaggerated arm movements to increase cardiovascular benefits.

It occupies a middle ground between casual strolling and jogging, offering exercise without the joint impact of running.

As a verb, to power-walk is to engage in this activity: She power-walks through the park every morning before work.

The term can also describe any purposeful, determined walking: He power-walked past the protesters without making eye contact.
