Book Reviews of Fitness Walking - 2nd Edition (Fitness Spectrum Series)
Book Review: Excellent Resource for Walkers
Summary: 5 Stars
This 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 self-tests to determine where your starting level is.
6 chapters are divided into different stages of walking workouts (from beginners to highly advanced) and each chapter contains 10 different workouts for that walking stage.
There is not a lot of difference between the 1995 and 2005 editions of this book - the photos are updated and the scientific references and other resources mentioned are updated. But if you don't mind an older copy, most of the information provided in the 1st edition is the same.
Highly recommended for everyone - even when I did not use the suggested workouts in this text, I learned a lot about how to improve my own walks (with my dog!) and get more benefit from them. I also found great responses to give people who say, "Why don't you go jogging instead" -- there are many reasons walking is the most body-beneficial workout out there and this book will explain them.
