Book Reviews of Pedometer Walking: Stepping Your Way to Health, Weight Loss, and Fitness
Book Review: Good - but not a great deal of 'meat' to chew on
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a good book to get enthusiastic about walking to stay fit and lose weight. However it must be said that the book does stretch out the "limited" content quite a bit. I read this in one evening and was motivated to replace the pedometer that I had purchased and to get walking each and everyday. I will have to see if the 10'000+ steps a day have any long lasting weight loss effects...Book Review: Good, informative book, especially for beginners
Summary: 4 Stars
I have been walking daily for years now, and I have been using a pedometer for a few months. I read the book once I was already familiar with pedometer walking, so a lot of the information in it was not new to me. Still, some of the tips in the book were useful and I especially liked the list of additional resources at the end of the book. I think the book would be even more useful for beginners. It helps select a good pedometer, use it accuratly, determine how much one is normally walking and improving one's total number of weekly steps. It seems to assume one is still struggling to build up to 10,000 steps per day and most of its tips are given to reach that goal. This was a bit annoying for me, since I was already walkin that much when I started reading the book, but I was still able to use some of the information to further increase my total steps. I strongly reccomend the book for beginners and I think some more experienced walkers might also find it useful. Book Review: A good starter.

I bought it for my mom along with a pedometer. Seems an easy read with sensible, easy-to-follow directions. Too bad it doesn't do the walking for her.Book Review: It's a motivator

Having this pedometer in my pocket at all times has motivated me to walk at least 10,000 steps per day, and I've lost 8 lbs over the last 4 weeks.Book Review: Pedometer walking: 10,000 step program

Interesting and useful addition to a walking for health program based on the 10,000 steps a day system. Helpful.
