I discovered The Walking Deck at a time I decided to commit to walking a half marathon. The Walking Deck has been tremendously helpful in my training journey. I love the fact that I can pull out separate cards and easily read them while doing a stretch or exercise (as opposed to trying to crane your neck to see pictures in a book that won't quite stay open). I like the author's practical, straightforward style. Even though her tips were based on research, she wrote them in an easy-to-understand manner. Her suggestions for different types of walks like interval and distance walks and the specialty walks like meditation and breath-awareness walks were very interesting and applicable to my life. (I always appreciate any practical tips for stress release!) The variety of suggestions ensure that the deck will be suitable for any level of walker, no matter what type of climate you live in. I'd highly suggest this product for newbie or experienced walkers.

If walking is so easy why are we couch potatoes? This deck of cards is a guide to getting started on walking yourself healthy.The emphasis is on conditioning, with instructions on walking technique, toning exercises, monitoring intensity, stretches, and progressive cardio and endurance walks. The reader is led along a path to better health in an upbeat and pragmatic description of various kinds of walks. Who would have thought one could learn a better way to walk the dog? This book makes walking fun and doable. Buy it for yourself, and give it to those dear to you.

I found these flashcards very helpful to improve and get the most out of my walking. I just slip one or two cards in my pocket to refresh myself on want to want to focus on each day.
I especially like the cards with exercises to do along the way. I never realized how much breathing impacts walking.
My walking improved 100% over the last 3 months and I look forward to planning each walk.

A well researched card deck about how to easily approach physical wellness. Start out slow, and work your way up as you enjoy the fruits of your physical improvement. Walking will allow you to develop healthy habits and encourage you to stick to your new body, through only the price of a good pair of shoes!!!
