Is ChiRunning truly effortless and if so, will I get any exercise?
With the Chi Running technique, you are working towards effortless running. As your form improves, you’ll be able to run with less and less effort, but still get a great workout. The movement of Chi Running keeps your peripheral muscles supple and relaxed and your core muscles strong while improving your cardiovascular and aerobic conditioning. You’ll still reap all the physical benefits of running, but do it in a more mindful, efficient way to improve enjoyment and prevent injury.
