Walk It Off: Make Pounds Disappear The Easy, No-Fail Way

Walking has been called "the most perfect form of exercise," and this book tells you in no uncertain terms why you should hot-foot it out the door and get started on a regular walking program. When done regularly, walking is the best way to get a handle on excess poundage or maintain your ideal weight.
In "Walk It Off," five chapters contain topics that range from the more technical (the mechanics of walking, strength training, and the like) to the practical (what to wear on walks and walking on different types of surfaces, to cite two examples) to the health-centered (eating to be your best, the 25 foods most beneficial to walkers, recipes, and more). In addition, the book is packed with tips on safety when walking, "weather walking," music play lists for different walks, and other considerations for people who decide to take to the sidewalk, footpath, or hiking trail and learn what a difference walking can make-both in their physical form and in their lives.
