Seiko DM-50 Clip-Style Metronome

We've done our homework and this is, hands down, the best metronome to help you practice your ChiWalking or ChiRunning technique. Being able to maintain a steady cadence at any speed is a key component of efficient movement.

The importance of the metronome in both ChiWalking and ChiRunning:

Cadence is measured in strides per minute. In terms of energy efficiency, the metronome is a great way to maintain a sustained steady pace.

ChiWalking uses the metronome to distinguish the three basic walking paces (strolling, aerobic and fitness). Each of the three different paces serves a very specific purpose in the ChiWalking fitness program, so it is important to have a way of knowing what your cadence is and how to keep it steady.

In ChiRunning, your cadence always remains the same while your stride length changes relative to your speed. To become an efficient runner, one must learn to relax at one's optimal cadence while allowing the stride to lengthen or shorten as necessary.
