Product Details

Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Beyond a basic agreement about walking as the ideal exercise (it's safe, low-intensity and requires no investment other than a pair of good shoes), the approaches of these two books, both April publications, could hardly be more different. Fenton and Bauer, editors at Walking magazine, offer an encouraging, commonsensical guide to a progressive walking program designed to make even die-hard couch potatoes say, "I can do this." Breezy, two-page chapters?one for each day of the training regime?offer information on such topics as stride, step and pacing and include space for the essential daily log-keeping. The authors' positive approach to walking matches the book's easy-to-follow structure. By contrast, Malkin (Walking?The Pleasure Exercise), a dental surgeon, delineates the "Malkin Technique" in an authoritative, nearly pedantic style. He urges a minimum of three 45-minute sessions of brisk ("moderate to hard") walking per week, offering an eight-week training program toward that goal. Chapters discuss health, weight loss, stretching, equipment and motivation; those dealing with diet include some low-fat recipes. The surfeit of information and the moving focus of attention make for a daunting prospect, a view that could easily spill over to the fitness program Malkin prescribes.

This review is from: Aerobic Walking The Weight-Loss Exercise: A Complete Program to Reduce Weight, Stress, and Hypertension (Paperback)
I thought that it was a volume 2 to "walking for pleasure exercise" but it is really a revision of it. So either one is sufficent, no need for both books by this author. Covers the topics needed to get a good start on exercise walking, a little bit more on diet than the earlier book.

Informative, straightforward, no surprises nor bad advice, a worthy start to any walking library.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thoroughly informative!, Jan 4 2002
This review is from: Aerobic Walking The Weight-Loss Exercise: A Complete Program to Reduce Weight, Stress, and Hypertension (Paperback)
Dr. Mort Malkin is one of the nation's leading authorities on aerobic walking. He has developed clinics, programs, seminars across the states. Also, check out his other best seller, "Walking, The Pleasure Exercise."

Malkin's first attempt to persuade you to walk aerobically us by convincing you how good you will look. He will focus on the fundamentals of the whole esthetic picture, your weight, shape, posture, presence and grace, yes, grace; he believes the conveniences of modern civilization have made us into sitters instead of walkers. The computer world alone has us sitting more than ever. As for presence, Dr. Malkin says aerobic walking will bestow a more youthful appearance.

You will learn plenty on the aerobic diet guide for reducing, he informs us on carbs, proteins, fats, water, vitamins, fiber, foods with grains, salad vegetables, green and yellow vegetables, starches, dairy, fruits, etc.,

In the chapter called "How Far, How Fast, How Often", he discusses an 8-week program that is simply increasing your pace from 15 minutes at a gentle pace, every other day to 45 minutes at a very brisk pace every other day. That's all that is in the 8-week program, a doable increase in pace and time.

Included is plenty of info on preventing injuries. This is an excellent book...MzRizz

5.0 out of 5 stars A good choice for beginners, Jan 16 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Aerobic Walking The Weight-Loss Exercise: A Complete Program to Reduce Weight, Stress, and Hypertension (Paperback)
Malkin's book is excellent for the beginner. I can say that because I am one.
All Malkin wants is for people to reap the benefits of exercise, all their lives, and enjoy it at the same time. His program is so hassle-free that you think it's under-acheiving, but it works.
With the facts, and a sense of humor, Dr. Malkin shows that walking is the ultimate win-win exercise, with lasting benefits.
He gives you all the basics you need, plus refined techniques, to integrate walking into your life effortlessly. Not only that, you don't have to do it every day, if you don't want to...
