This review is from: Walking for Fitness (Paperback)
I got this out of the library, and am thinking of buying it for keeps. It gives a good comprehensive overview of fitness walking, what you need to get started and progress to an advanced walker. It has training programs for beginner, intermediate, and advanced, and covers equipment, technique, stretching, hydration, etc. Great pictures too, as with all DK books.

This review is from: Walking for Fitness (Paperback)
This book was given to me as a present and I loved it so much that I already have given away three copies to friends and I am back to order more.
I have been power walking for many years and I find it a great and strong form of exercise. But it always upset me to see other people/friends walk without proper guideance and consequently not achieve the full benefits. This book is wonderfully illustrated and a joy to leaf through. It gives great instructions and addresses everything. I bet you'll love it too.
