IDOGO® - Walking/ Jogging

    What do I achieve?

    You will experience a completely new style of jogging and walkingjog4 which is very good for body and soul. A comprehensive training method which is easy to learn and has the following advantages:

    Improved leg / arm coordination
    Holding IDOGO® when walking or jogging helps coordinate arm and leg movements. The hand movements follow the leg movements. If you run faster your hands will lift automatically. IDOGOâ remains the close to the body. The distance should remain the same if IDOGO® lifts during jogging.

    Corrects posture deficiencies
    holding IDOGO® forces the body upright during walking and jogging.

    Avoids backache
    this upright posture unburdens the back and spine, which avoids backache.

    Trains an upright posture
    through consequent IDOGO® usage and constant training the body adopts an improved posture and movement style. This is also applied to everyday movements. Once the body has experienced this more sensible style of movement with IDOGO® it will adopt it into every day life.

    Induces a natural gait
    When the body is upright it is difficult, while running, to roll off the heels, but don’t let this bother you. Don’t try to roll, just let your feet move naturally. This will quickly develop to a natural gait, like indigenous people, who run barefoot.
