Better Step vs WALKY

Just 4 inches will change your entire life. Better Step corrects your stride length and encourages calorie burn more faster. Simply by taking better steps, you change yourself for tomorrow. Stop walking ineffectively and practice striding 4 inches longer with Better Step. Our app provides a stride meter, pedometer and a calorie counter to help you practice walking with longer strides. More than half of the population (56%) enjoy exercising through walking. However, your steps could be causing: - Loss of flexibility in joints - Back pain due to a bent posture - Exercising without activating your muscles. Does this sound like you? Through activating your muscles when you walk, you are working on your flexibility, reducing your back pain, burning calories, and losing weight daily with our step counter. - Walk 4 inches further with each step. If you allow your stride to narrow, your posture bends, your muscles weaken, movement becomes laborious and the joint movements decrease. It's difficult to exercise properly if this is your every day habit. We want to encourage you to widen your stride. By walking with an average stride length of an extra 4 inches each time, you will activate your muscle strength, restore your lost flexibility, and reduce body fat through the increase of energy expenditure. Alongside this, longer strides contribute to better balance and coordination. - By using our walking app, you will decrease your back pain. A narrow stride is one of the reasons the erector spinae muscle weakens and contraction of the iliopsoas muscle in the pelvis. Through walking with a wide stride, the erector spinae muscles develop under the influence of ground reaction force iliopsoas muscles increase through stretching. This helps to improve balance throughout the whole body, bring stability to your spine and reduce back pain with posture correction. - If this is true, what is the best stride length? Ideally, add 4in more to your stride length in comparison to normal walking. The best stride length is to walk at a 'proper stride length' that works best for you. This is due to the fact that walking wider than your appropriate stride length will increase your fall rate, because of the wider angle you are attempting to stride. Better Step will analyze your physical condition to measure the appropriate stride length and provide a step-by-step program to ensure you are walking properly. - Things you can do with Better Step We aim to make it easy to walk. Alongside this, we help you stay motivated with a personalized step-by-step program. This will help to burn visceral fat through this aerobic exercise, activate your muscles (lower body strength exercise), strengthen erector spinae muscles (posture correction), and correct turtle neck through upright walking. Better Step can also help you with what you eat, give daily walking challengers and give you positive energy every day!
