power walking

Speedy pedestrian exercise

Power walking is brisk walking as exercise, with exaggerated arm swings and a pace faster than casual strolling but without breaking into a jog.

The form emphasizes keeping one foot on the ground at all times, distinguishing it from running: She does power walking through the neighborhood every morning.
