Excellent Fitness Book!,
By Reader Writer (Portland, OR United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Complete Guide to Walking for Health, Weight Loss, and Fitness (Paperback)
This is one of the best written fitness books out there (and I've read a ton of 'em). Fenton covers topics from how to start a beginning walking program to competetive speed walking, and everything in between. It's well written and presented and is actually fun to read. More importantly, you'll learn it's fun to walk for fitness. A great start for beginners, but also a good motivator for seasoned exercisers.

really gets you walking,

This review is from: The Complete Guide to Walking for Health, Weight Loss, and Fitness (Paperback)
i've been walking for a long time but this book got me walking every day instead of once in a while and taught me how to get the maximum out of my walks. i've stopped obssessing about my weight and my whole attitude towards my body and towards the concept of regular exercise has changed. the best thing about this book is that it is a daily, weekly and yearly companion that keeps you on the exercise regime. fenton's writing is guiless and honest -- a friendly push out the door. no criticism, just encouragement to start enjoying the natural movement of your own body. his frankness and simplicity are refreshing.

I love this book!,
By Sheepla (North Carolina USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Complete Guide to Walking for Health, Weight Loss, and Fitness (Paperback)
I've bought this book four times now, because I show my copy to a family member or friend and they get so excited about it, I give them my copy and then have to go buy another one. This is the best walking book I've ever come across, with good information for the total beginner or the experience walker who just wants some extra motivation. Buy it!
