Benefits of ChiRunning®
“It’s not running that hurts your body or causes injury, it’s how you run!”
We teach the ChiRunning® technique through a systematic method that allows safe and effective progress.
Benefits of the ChiRunning® method include:
• Lower injury rate
• Great posture
• Relaxed limbs and loose joints
• Engaged core muscles
• A focused mind
• More energy!
The ChiRunning® program virtually changes the landscape of the sport and makes running accessible and appealing to people who have stopped running due to injury, who are intimidated by the difficulty and danger of running, who want to gain a competitive edge, and for those who seek a spiritual component to their fitness program.
