Product Description

Two Experts Set the Pace for Optimum Health with This Take-Anywhere Walking Workout Session from Andrew Weil, M.D. & Mark Fenton. Most of us enjoy walking, but not everyone knows how to turn this simple exercise into one of the most powerful self-healing tools known to medicine. On Walking: The Secret to Optimum Health, Dr. Andrew Weil joins Mark Fenton, the nation’s foremost expert on walking, for an invigorating 2-CD program that gives listeners all the tools needed to begin a daily walking practice. On Part One, Dr. Weil and Mark Fenton explain the proven ways in which walking helps you look and feel younger, reduce stress, improve immune function, achieve your ideal weight, and more. On Part Two, listeners get walking with a fully programmable workout that features two warm-up options and five intensifying sessions, paced by cadence cues and motivating tips for each phase. There are dozens of resources on walking for better health—but none with the ultimate walking coach alongside America’s most trusted complementary health-care physician. Whether you’re a seasoned walking enthusiast looking for an edge or taking your first steps toward a healthier tomorrow, with Walking, anyone can put their best foot forward to make the most of this enjoyable and life-changing exercise. --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars dynamic duo, August 31, 2006
By D. Hackman (Bloomington, IN United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Dr. Weil and Mark Fenton combine their expertise to provide a very thorough and helpful walking CD. The metered walking paces of 120, 135 and 150 steps per minute are very useful in developing a rhythm. Thanks for the help.

1.0 out of 5 stars 2 CDs--0 content, February 9, 2009
By C. Henry (Denver, CO USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I'm a workout walker just coming back to it. These 2 CDs contain a good cheerleading session for the benefits of walking, but I find that the practical walking workout isn't helpful on a day in-day out basis. For that I would highly recommend Kathy Smith's CDs or tapes. The Weil/Fenton CD scrimped on music production, and doesn't give you the option of a 30 minute or hour-long walk at a graduated pace like Smith's. Also, the pace on the Fenton CD is far too strenuous for someone overweight, elderly, recovering from illness or just beginning. This one simply gives you one work-out going from a brisk pace to a breakneck pace. You might get some basic info from this--for instance, how fast to walk to lose weight--but mainly this seems like another in a series that uses Weil's name to sell CDs of dubious value.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not much substance, April 14, 2008
By CS (Liberty, IN) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Very disappointing. Too basic for even a beginner. Feels like more of a marketing ploy than substative effort to assist.
