powerwalking

Fast-paced strolling exercise

Powerwalking is walking at a brisk, sustained pace for exercise, faster than a casual stroll but without breaking into a jog.

The arms typically swing vigorously to increase intensity and calorie burn.

It emerged as a fitness trend in the 1980s and remains popular as low-impact cardiovascular exercise: She goes powerwalking every morning before work.

Also spelled power walking or power-walking.
