Masai Walking is a basic fitness technique practiced to improve the way we walk, run and workout and recreates the same foot rolling technique, pendulation of the hips and counter rotations of the shoulders used by the Masai tribe in Kenya to carry heavy weights for miles. This makes the body more active in its use of muscle groups, such as the legs, buttocks, thighs, abdominals, shoulders, arms and chest.
By using hand weights and natural arm movements with relaxed shoulders whilst walking in the MBT, Masai Walking actively converts the entire body into a "walking engine". This allows walking for longer periods, at faster speeds, burning more calories and delivering more power than regular power walking, or walking with poles.
