Fitness Walking For Dummies

GREAT BOOK! I purchased two of these books since my daughter (who had just had her second child) and I decided to begin a walking program for better health and fitness. She is thrilled with hers and so am I. It provides all the information you need before just getting out there and starting without understanding what you are doing. It lets you know the basics and gets your started on the right foot. It provides you with a plan of action to keep you on the right path of improvement. However, it is certainly not limited to beginners as it takes you the all four levels of walking. I do recommend this book. This purchase created two very satisfied customers.

Lots and lots of usefull tips that help me start a walking routine, in my case I was looking to avoid injuries and buy the correct snickers.

i brought this book cause i was walking to lose weight and was hurting myself now this book helps with that problem now i can take it easy without hurting myself again and it gives heart rate stuff and the proper way of walking etc.... i was doing the turkey walk it looks real funny in the book but darn i never knew it was wrong the way i was walking til i got this book.

another walking book

I bought this book as a gift for my wife who recently bought a treadmill. I think the "for Dummies" series are some of the bestbooks I've ever read. And my wife seems quite pleased with this one. And if the boss is happy, I'm happy.

I have been walking for a few years now having given up weight training as my primary exercise mode due to back problems and shoulder injuries.Purchased this book hoping to get more insight as to how walking shapes or stacks up against other modes of fitness.Found the book seriously lacking in any discussion of anatomy and physiology and benefits of walking.Lotsa useless information like wearing water proof clothing when it rains.Duhh! Also found the section on strength and weight training much too simplistic and wonder if that should even been included in this book. Although the author writes about walking lovingly she seems to tout running in one of the sections as being better and walking as just a prelude to real fitness achieved with jogging or running. Think there are better books out there that get to the heart(and lungs)of walking as exercise better.

Very informative, especially for someone ready to take their walking up a notch!

Item came on time and was as described.

Very good.
