What is curb walking?

Curb walking, also known as curb training, is a type of exercise or activity that involves walking along the edge of a curb, sidewalk, or other narrow elevated surface. This type of fitness routine can help improve balance, coordination, and core strength.

Curb walking is a low-impact exercise that can be done by people of all fitness levels, from beginners to more advanced individuals. It is often used in physical therapy and rehabilitation programs to help patients regain strength and stability after injuries or surgeries.

To perform curb walking, individuals simply walk back and forth along the edge of the curb, taking slow and deliberate steps to maintain their balance. As they become more comfortable with the exercise, they can add variations such as walking backward, sidestepping, or walking on tiptoes.

Curb walking can be done outdoors on a sidewalk or curb, or indoors using a balance beam or other elevated surface. It is important to wear comfortable and supportive footwear to prevent slipping or falling while performing this exercise. It is also recommended to start with shorter distances and gradually increase the intensity and duration of the exercise as strength and balance improve.
