Walking in parallel system\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Leader and follower are stepping with legs opposite each other (mirroring each other’s steps)
\nSpanish term: sistema paralelo.<\/p>\n

Walking in cross system<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Leader and follower are using the same foot at each step. (men and women right at the same time, or left at the same time)
\nSpanish term: sistema cruzado, caminata cruzada<\/p>\n
