power-walking

Fast-paced pedestrian exercise

Power-walking is brisk walking as exercise, with exaggerated arm movements and a faster pace than ordinary walking but without breaking into a jog.

The activity emerged as a fitness trend in the 1980s as a lower-impact alternative to running: She power-walks around the neighborhood every morning before work.
