5.0 out of 5 stars Like having your own physiotherapist or personal trainer!, 30 May 2008

By	Tarewith (London) - See all my reviews

This is a really good book with lots of sound advice in it. I wanted to read it initially to lose weight, but the surprise benefit was the chapter on posture. I knew I had been slouching over the computer at work and this was giving me a sore back and shoulders, but I didn't realize how quickly these problems could start to go away with the right advice. The other wonderful thing is that by working on my posture I looked slimmer immediately, even before losing any weight!

The book is beautifully laid out and the photographs are great. The photos that demonstrate the exercises explain what you need to do very clearly. The other photos of walkers heading off on their walk look so appealing you just wish you were there!

I'm not usually very keen to get out and exercise, but this book is written in an encouraging and enthusiastic style, so now I'm feeling really motivated.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly what I wanted, 6 May 2009

By	S. D. Williams "shilo115" (North Wales, GB) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Potentially very good, 4 Jul 2009

By	J. Marsh (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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. There are also some recipes which completely baffled me - either this is an exercise book or a diet book. The walking plans themselves don't take up much of the book at all and I would have liked more plans with variety. There are really only 3 levels of plan to do and you need to adapt them to meet your own needs. There are another 2 plans which may be relevant one day.

What would have helped is to see some success stories - how long it took people to lose weight. How they found following these plans. I will be giving it a go, however and see how it goes
