"Mizuno" Walking lecturer speaks on the health effects that walking brings.

In the summer of 2017, Mizuno Corporation held a walking seminar jointly with the Kanagawa Prefecture Housing Supply Corporation. So we asked Mr. Hiroshi Mori, a walking instructor, about the walking seminar that Mizuno will work on.

In Mizuno, at department stores and sports shops throughout the country, feet counseling and walking workshops are being held. The main contents are various ways of walking, exercise using a chair, toe stretch, selection of shoes, walking shoes features and feet care, Nordic walk and so on.

Mr. Mori is a walking lecturer by Mizuno who gives guidance on various exercises related to walking to more than 1,000 people every year throughout the country.

- It was a fun walking seminar, everyone was crazy. Not only training to know newly but I think walking is very innovative.

Is Mr. Mori 's wearing shoes used for walking?

Woods: Yes, that will happen. This is Mizuno's "LD40IVWalking that "It is a professional shoe designed to make foot transport comfortable.

Mizuno's proprietary corrugated plate "Mizuno Wave" that reduces the burden on joints such as the knee, hip, ankle is carried, so you can walk lightly while maintaining balance.

It is hard to get tired even if walking for a long time as you can use your fingers firmly, so it's easy to match suit and casual, so I think that it will be useful in every scene. Come, I would like to try it.

The sock also loves Mizuno's five-finger exclusive walking "socks thinking about foot comfort". Here, it absorbs the moisture of the foot, and it becomes a thing excellent in quick drying. Because it also has antibacterial deodorant and antifungal processing functions, I think that it will be a big success in the hot we still have.


- Could you tell me about walking guidance?

Woods:I agree. I planned shoes at Mizuno7After doing the year, I am also interested in walking, I got the qualifications of shoe fitter (foot and shoes and health council) and walking instructor (Japan walking association).

Until now, I have been running marketing and walking workshops on walking shoes for about 10 years. Five years ago, when I was assigned to the lifestyle sports division I am now, my own mother 's care was also available, and I became interested in the nursing care prevention campaign.

The Nordic Walk feels like the most reasonable exercise, because it has falling pole in both hands and it also becomes fall prevention and whole body exercise.

Mizuno so far has a strong image of baseball and soccer and other ball game centers, but I believe that we can expand our health business for consumers through walking and Nordic walks.


- Ms. Mizuno asked that nursing homes and hospitals are also carrying out workshops such as walking and Nordic walks.

It is very important for Japan where older people are increasing.

Woods:Thank you. Although we are not doctors, we are collaborating with day service and community comprehensive center, and we are doing exercise using chair and guiding way of walking as long as nursing care prevention campaign.

- I also feel the need to extend my healthy lifespan.
 

Woods: We believe that prolonging the healthy life expectancy for nursing care prevention leads to the revitalization of the community, so we are working with the municipality that we empathize.  

――I felt that the movement of the forest during the walking seminar, especially the turn, was light. What has the sport been doing?

Woods
: I am playing tennis from junior high school to college, still playing but I am playing tennis. My seminar itself is for older people, but we also have training to rush up early in the morning and run with the pole on weekends.
 

- Are you being managed from the meal with your health conscious from the usual?

Woods: It seems like it is now, I can not boast at all. I had gastric ulcers and smoked, but since I became involved in health projects, I stopped living like that(Lol)

--walking
Please tell me the trick to keep on.

Woods: I told you at the seminar just before, but when walking, you can use the senses of "see by eyes, listen, touch, smell, feel".

And for walking,Fat burning, Brain activation,Strengthen cardiorespiratory function, There is also the effect of preventing customary diseases.  

Walking is very wonderful and I would like many people to enjoy it.

- Are there any sports that you are paying attention at the Tokyo Olympic Games and the Paralympic Games?

Woods
I agree. Personally I am tennis and baseball. In addition, Mizuno supports many events such as table tennis and badminton. I am looking forward to it since I think that Tokyo is going to rise in the middle of Japan!
