Customer Rating: Summary: Old time info - nothing new Comment: I like to read books about walking from time to time because it renews my dedication and gives me new incentives. This book was too long, too wordy, too much information. In fact, it seems to be a very OLD book like it might have been written 45 years ago (but it wasn't!). If you want a short book FULL of incentive try WALK YOURSELF THIN by David A. Rives or 10,000 STEPS A DAY to your optimal weight by Greg Isaacs. Both are full of valuable hints, tips & solid reasons why you should be walking each day, seven days a week. Customer Rating: Summary: The ins and outs of walking Comment: This college textbook is a concise but comprehensive guide to starting a walking program. The book highlights everything you should know about walking. The writing flows nicely and is easy to follow. The topics are reinforced by diagrams and photographs in every chapter. The books give a complete overview of how walking can lead to total health and wellness.
Walking for Fitness--the first college-level walking text--is an appealing, value-priced book basic to beginners that emphasizes safety and personal fitness.
