      <image:title>Blog - Is Tai Chi Good For You? - Walking Asymmetry</image:title>
      <image:caption>“In a healthy walking pattern, the timing of the steps you take with each foot are very similar. Walking asymmetry is the per cent of time your steps with one foot are faster or slower than the other foot. This means the lower the percentage of asymmetry, the healthier your walking pattern.” — Apple Health app. In my case, walking asymmetry is caused by osteoarthritis of the hip. After my forthcoming hip replacement surgery, my goal is to train or teach an hour a day. I’d then hope to see a reduction in walking asymmetry and an increase in Cardio Fitness.</image:caption>
