Bjørn Anthun
: 'power walking' is often confused with 'speed walking', because both is walking at speed; however 'speed walking' (or 'race walking') mainly refers to speed-walking marathons or the olympics, whereas 'power walking' is recreational.

speed walking?
Walken = speed walking
Einen Fuß vor den anderen setzen, weder spazierengehen noch laufen - das ist Walking. Schnelles Gehen ist ein Jungbrunnen für Körper und Geist. Jeder kann walken, vom 10- bis zum 90jährigen. Und zwar überall.

: could also say "brisk walking" but it's not nearly as trendy (wonder why they don't mention Nordic walking?)
