The Complete Guide to Walking for Health, Weight Loss, and Fitness
Wow this was a great read!!!
I have been walking for awhile, i guess since i was about 7 months. once i started i just couldnt stop. I was walking everywhere around the playground, the backyard, i would even do multiple laps around the couch! im not gonna lie, i was pretty good. after decades of walking however, i was still having the same problems with form and technique. i assumed i could work these out on my own eventualy, but boy was i wrong. for example, i would routinly fall when attempting to pass uneven surfaces, i could not figure out why until i read this book. turns out, my form was fudamentaly flawed. Instead of simply steping onto the higher surface, i would get on my left leg and left arm only,then use my bodyweight to heave myself on the surface of higher elevation. living in manhatten, this made traveling around the city nearly impossible. one night i actually was locked into a subway station, beacause of my inability to scale the tall 20ft staircase. i yelled for the attendant, but i dont think he heard me, he appeared to be laughing very hard at something, maybe a joke a friend of his told earlier in the day. anyways, I was quickly tackling curbs, stairs. . . yes. . . stairs, i was even scaling the step used in aerobic classes!! I cant count the ways this book has changed my life

Two jerks in the review pool gave the book a 1 star despite the fact they had never read it. I guess they will have to wait for the made for TV movie.

Not much too say its a book about walking. However, the information provided is very useful and the way it is laid out will help anyone starting a walking plan.

Good guide for many reasons. Talks about health, your fitness, weight loss and best of all, WALKING. Easy to read & understand. Has several quizzes that are useful. I liked this book so much more than others I’ve read on the same walking subject. This is a good overall beginners book.

I HIGHLY recommend this book for walkers who need a boost in information about ways to structure walking habits. This book helped / gave me ideas so I could create my own structured walking plan/program.
Since I aquired this wonderful book I am up to 10 miles a day of serious aerobic walking.
