Chi Running will teach you to Love Running!

Missy Robertson is a Certified Chi Running/Chi Walking Instructor and personal trainer who in the past believed in the coined phrase “No Pain, No Gain”. That is because she thought running with some kind of pain was something every runner lives with, it was normal. Missy has been running for 35+ years now and lived with pain somewhere all the time; she was gaining nothing other than retiring her running shoes at a very early age. But now she coins the phrase, “It’s not running that hurts us...it’s the way we run that hurts us.” The bad habits we have developed over the years can be changed with the principles of Chi Running and Chi Walking. Chi Running is about setting

up conditions that make running easier, more efficient, and injury-free. The human body loves and needs to move and be active. If longevity, good health and a high quality of life are your goals, consistent, centered movement is the key. Chi Running and Chi Walking will help you discover the capable athlete within; and enjoy an active, healthy life. Call me today to set up your Half/full day workshop or private session which includes a VIDEO GAIT ANALYSIS, exercises and drills covering posture, lean, ankle lift, arm swing, cadence and pace. You’ll learn five mindful steps, that can be transferred to any area of your life; work, relationships, health, or any aspect of self-discovery.
