 Rating: - Nice, Mellow Self-Help for Athletes"Fitness Walking" by Therese Iknoian is very helpful self-guided instructional to help folks get started in those activities know jointly/separately as Fitness Walking, Health Waling, Power Walking etc. This reviewer had no choice getting involved, since his knees were burned out after 30+ years of running on concrete. The tone of FW is genial and gentle throughout. Perhaps the most useful advice is printed very early in the text where the author lists her "Technique Summary". These 7 points encompass ... Read More Rating: - Excellent Resource for WalkersThis book is a great place to obtain walking workout knowledge for the beginning walker, or the advanced/experienced athlete who would like to add walking to their routine. It dispells many of the myths surrounding the jogging-vs-walking debate (i.e. which is better for you) and provides ample research showing the amazing benefits of walking. Chapters include information on preparing to walk, purchasing shoes, walking the correct way, warming up/cooling down, stretches (with photos), and various ... Read More Rating: - Great for Treadmill Walking TooAlthough the author promotes outdoor walking more than inside treadmill workouts, I find that the book is perfect for use with the treadmill. There are beginning programs all the way up to athletic ones, and you can start with the one that suits you and include any others that you want by customizing your own workouts. Actually, my treadmill calculates the miles, distance, pace, etc., making it really easy to follow the programs. The book is very thorough and covers a lot of useful information regarding walking ... Read More Rating: - Great guide for beginnersThis is a great book for beginners who are serious about walking for fitness. The color-coded program guides were helpful and easy to read. Gave me something to start with and the explanations were easy to understand. Highly recommend if you're interested in starting a walking program. Rating:  - A user friendly guideThis book is a big help in starting a walking program with (almost) all the information you need. The author has color coded the workouts to fitness level and difficulty. I could use a little more information about self-evaluation but otherwise a very nicely written book for the purpose. Beginners to early intermediates will find the book quite helpful (experts probably won't need it.) Browse for similar items by category:
