Book Reviews of Pedometer Walking: Stepping Your Way to Health, Weight Loss, and Fitness
Book Review: Do not confuse the book with the device
Summary: 2 Stars
I love my pedometer, purchased after seeing Fenton in Supersize Me. I love it so much, I bought 6 Omrons in recent weeks to give to good friends. But the book - whoa! Feeble. It felt like a magazine article, pumped full of air to bring it up to the size of a book. I felt there was nothing that could not have fit into a 2-3 page tightly written article. Thank you amazon for your generous return policy!Book Review: best ever
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had many pedometers,but this is by far my favorite.It's more accurate and harder to lose then other brand.It'll keep a 7 day log of your steps and has many other features.You wont have to reset it, at midnight it'll start a new day.I wear a pedometer constantly and would recommend this one above any other.Book Review: Pedometer Walking
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is obviously well-researched, an easy read, with just enough statistics to confirm its importance to use a pedometer when you walk. I told my Dr. that was what I was now doing. I gave him a copy, courtesy of Amazon, he read it, bought a pedometer, and now recommends the book and pedometer to his patients. It's an easy way to encourage a person to keep fit. I wear my pedometer every day now, thanks to the book. I can monitor to see if I reach my goal of 10,000 steps a day. Sometimes I do more, sometimes less, but I keep track of it and feel better and fitter after having read Pedometer Walking. I recommend it without reservation.Book Review: Pedometer Walking
Summary: 4 Stars
The book offers some great advice on starting a walking program. I have completed 10 weeks and still am following a program based on advice in the book. I give the book 4 stars instead of 5 because some of the advice tended to go over the top (e.g., move to a more walking friendly location).Book Review: Good book, good motivator
Summary: 4 Stars
Thought this book helped to motivate me on the 10,000 step goal even though at times it was fairly unrealistic to think one would move to the city in the interest of taking more steps! It lays out a six week program that is realistic and achievable. I feel better already 3 weeks into it.
