5.0 out of 5 stars LOW IMPACT HIGH RESULTS, December 31, 2005

This review is from: Powerwalking (Paperback)

I got his book when it first came out in 82-83 as a high school athlete looking for ways to crosstrain and get ready for marine Bootcamp. I did this for three months prior to Marine Boot Camp, a 3 month, strength and endurance proposition as any Marine can tell you. I graduated honor man in my Platoon and have been in the military for 22 years at this time. I reccommend this program to any age, especially if you are coming off a knee surgery or other overuse injuries. Or if you are new to fitness, it was definitley ahead of it's time. I have since Lost my copy, plan to order another one and reccommend this program to others, it's cheap and you get what you put into it, like any excercise program.All you need are some good shoes and 10 dollar dumbells you can buy at wallyworld. RIP Steve, you were a great inspiration to me....

A bit dated in terms of the pictures and very basic info, Steve does a great job of motivating the reader to get and stay fit by power walking. If the internet in its commercial form had been available when this book was written, Steve would have started a power walking revolution!

It is not a book about olympic style speed walking but rather a book for a lifestyle change. I applaud the author, as he was ahead of his time. It might be in print again; if so, get it!

This is a great piece of history and a much needed message for America today. It's a great low impact way to improve cardio, burn calories while getting fresh air with sunshine and vitamin D.
