First step to a healthy lifestyle

What happens when we take the first step in any journey or process?


We immediately see the next step, of course. And that by continuing, we will reach a geographic, physical or metaphorical goal.
Walking is the activity we are most exquisitely adapted for. The one we struggle most nobly to master as babies—discovering with uncontained delight that one foot in front of the other propels us both forward and into the future. How can we so often forget and leave this essential movement out of our lives?

Silva’s wellness line puts the health stamp back on our birthright: walking. You’ll find the utmost in contemporary design, clothing-compatible colours, and a range of unassailable technical options—like a built-in filter function that prevents the recording of unwanted movement, and a web-based training service that can be used for comparing performance with friends and colleagues to upload and analyze your exercise data. If you’re looking to make the first step to a healthy lifestyle, we can help.

10,000 steps per day provides everyone with a good basis for continued training
