power walker

[ladorada]

When somebody is described as 'power walker', what does it mean?

The context is like this:

...he is a film and theater buff, a cricket fan, a badminton player, a devoted power walker and a voracious reader...

Power walking is like jogging but without looking as silly. Basically you walk as fast as you can as far as you can. It's a very popular form of exercise with city slickers who don't want to get their suits all sweaty or change to jog.

Yes, Power walking is walking at speed

To qualify as power walking, as opposed to jogging or running, at least one foot must be in contact with the ground at all times.

Power walking is also known as speed walking and more whimsically as dork walking (because they sometimes lok silly)
