REEBOK UNIVERSITY Reebok University was launched in 1993 to fulfill a vision to establish a “university without walls” that develops quality, researched, state-of-the-art fitness programming for the fitness industry throughout the world. Working with the world’s best professionals, Reebok University has created a host of original programs, such as Step Reebok®, Walk ReebokSM, Slide ReebokSM and Reebok City JamSM. The industry has adopted Reebok programming as the “gold” standard.
Several studies have reported that regular walking at moderate to brisk speeds appears to increase bone density. Specifically, Fradin and his colleagues6 found that 70-year-old subjects who walked at least 30 minutes per day had higher bone mineral content than subjects who walked less than 30 minutes per day. Jones and his colleagues7 reported that sedentary women (aged 30 to 61 years old) who began a regular walking program and continued for one year increased their bone density.
