Размашистая ходьба

Russian to English Marketing Sports / Fitness / Recreation Скандинавская ходьба
Коллеги,

Подскажите, как точнее выразить идею о размашистой ходьбе? У автора написано следующее:
1. Представьте, что вы опаздываете на маршрутку. Размашистые движения прямыми руками и длинные шаги.
2. Делаем то же самое, но отталкиваясь (отталкиваемся) палками.
3. Толкать нужно тогда, когда кисть на уровне бедра (самый удобный момент, чтобы сжать пальцы и толкать палку назад - оттолкнуться).
4. Вы создаёте рычаг и с помощью него переносите вес.
5. Руки (в локте) не сгибаем в локте.
В словаре приводится вроде бы точное слово lope (If a person or animal lopes somewhere, they run in an easy and relaxed way, taking long steps), но с пометкой literary. Тип ходьбы упоминается только раз в заголовке. Текст будут зачитывать вживую перед аудиторией.

power walking

Disclaimer: Power walking is not Nordic walking (which I assume your text is about). It isn't exactly "размашистая ходьба" either. Power walking is a style of walking that emphasizes the use of arms to increase walking speed. It's like an exaggerated form of walking where you use your arms to propel yourself forward, so to speak. "Power walking" implies speed, in addition to longer strides and fully swinging arms. Since power walking is not a formal sport (unlike racewalking), there is no specific technique.

I think Michael Moskovitz has the most accurate translation. However, "taking long strides with arms swinging" might be too long for a title or heading. In this case, I suggest "power walking" as the shortest and closest (but not wholly accurate) alternative.

Big moves, wide-range moves

Big moves - это довольно распрстраненный в фитнесе термин. Когда тренер хочет сказать про большую амплитуду или широкий размах, часто употребляется выражение big moves. В контексте размашистой ходьбы вполне подходит.
Peer comment(s):

neutral The Misha : No. A big move is when your boyfriend asks you to marry him. Or your husband leaves you. Or you decide to downshift and move to Elbonia. Now, those are big moves:) Just google this and see what pops up.

Sorry, I think I meant "big range of motion". Heard it many times in fitness videos. But might be mistaken

sweeping motions

Proposition.

Cross Country Uppercut: Broad sweeping motions with an upper punch takes your core, glutes and quads to a whole other level. With opposite arm and legs movement, drive your fist (palm up, like Rosie the Riveter) through an arm swing which starts from behind to the front of your body and crosses your midline, by about 4-6 inches. Moving your legs in a sweeping motion like a cross-country skier gives the movement a torso rotation, activating your obliques.

In recent years, Tai Chi has been increasing in popularity as a key fitness method in Senior Fitness. Using static and dynamic poses and large sweeping motions..

vigorous walking

Technique. The cadences of the arms, legs and body are, rhythmically speaking, similar to those used in normal, vigorous, walking.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordic_walking

I might even run with poles in Fartlek-style training, a type of unstructured speed play where I alternate between moderate-intensity walking and a little bit more vigorous walking.

Brisk walking

Now, of course, "brisk" as such does not literally mean long, or large as applied to those full-sized steps and motions, but brisk walking is the most common description of this particular concept you will find in natural English, as used by natives in native sources. Quite a few things are said differently in different languages.

Taking large strides with arms swinging

Taking large strides with arms swinging - this is likely how one would walk in a hurry, trying to catch up with the маршрутка
