    A walking coach is similar to a running coach. The coach will be able to assess your form to make sure your posture is correct and you are getting the most benefit from your walking program. They can help you set goals for weight loss and overall general health and wellness. Also, having a coach will hold you accountable to your program and keep you motivated.

    A walking coach is a coach to assist in your walking efforts.  These coaches have extensive background knowledge when it comes to walking and ways to improve walking to transition into running and other forms of exercise.  These other forms may include but are not limited to assistance with strength training programs and ways to help improve your overall lifestyle.
