I was very disappointed with this book. As others have pointed out, the walking programmes only take up a few pages, and there is nothing about calories burnt off during walking. There are several pages of recipes which are completely out of place in this book.

Being a keen runner training for 10K races, when I was diagnosed with breast cancer, I was gutted at the possibility that I could not run for a year. I did try to run two weeks into chemo but it didnt work out.
I like to train and have a fitness regime so this part of having cancer has been difficult. Then I decided I would taylor make a walking plan for me to use through my treatment so that when it was over, I could take up running again.
I bought this book together with Walking for Fitness and I am so pleased that I have.
The book is asthetically pleasing with lovely photographs and a layout which is easy on the eye.
I particularly liked the section on posture and how to get a good one because I know I havent and it has caused me running problems. It explains the technique in a step by step format, stretches, training zones, walking meditation (interesting), what to wear, diet and a walking plan.
Great value for money although if I were to choose out of the two books I would go for Walking for Fitness first, however, at this price, the two compliment each other really well.

Hi! This is a great book for anyone who wants to improve their walking technique.
I love walking and was looking for a few tips to lose weight. I spotted this book on Amazon and am really happy i got this book. The book is easy to read and gives good insights into effective walking technique. The warm up and cool down exercises are described very well.
I have bought myself a pedometer based on the recommendation of the book. I havennt weighed myself yet but am feeling better just because i am walking better!

Potentially very good
I have now read most of the book. It is not what I expected as there is a large portion of the book dedicated to exercises - which are important. Read more
