Pedometer Walking: Stepping Your Way To Health, Weight Loss, And Fitness

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.

If you're wondering how to get the most out of using a pedometer, this book is for you. It's pretty basic so for someone like me that is already walking more than the average American but still not enough, I still was able to use it to structure a program for myself. It also gives equivalants for activities like swimming or bike riding. In my 4th week I'm seeing an improviment in my legs appearence and strength and I'm starting to lose wieght. It's become a way of life that I don't think I would have if not for the info in this book.

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.

This is a super pedometer! Easy read, stores lots of info, and software to store it away on. Provides monthly chart to preserve what I do or don't do so far as walking goals in an easily accessed and colorful way. I'm on my second. Only complaint is the safety clip which attaches to pocket or waistband was fragile on the first and broke which meant it was constantly falling to the ground. Pedometer survived the falls and still works fine but I was concerned I'd lose it so ordered another. Great investment if you're interested in keeping records of your progress.

The book provide lots of good information, I had just finished reading10,000 Steps in the information overlapped. However the information in this book that I had not already read in 10,000 Steps was GOOD. I LIKED it. Probably would have liked it more had I not read 10,000 Steps beforehand.

Pedometer Walking: Stepping Your Way to Health, Weight Loss, and Fitness This is a great book for the first time and the experienced walker. The authors throw in lots of walking tidbits and trivia in shadowed boxes. I'm hoping my wife will find this book gets her up and walking more.

I have checked this book out from my library several times and finally decided it was time to truly commit to walking for health and thus, decided to buy it. Some of the plan gets a little (a lot?) ahead of my goal but I like having the inspiration I gain from the book.

I've had a pedometer for quite a while now, and although I knew how to keep track of the amount of steps taken daily, I didn't have a concrete plan on how to increase that amount. This book helped me to set goals for every week and gave me the motivation to do it!I am now half-way on my program and plan to continue until I reach my 10,000 steps a day goal.

My own fault I guess - its all about the pedometer and I thought i was going to be instructed in how to walk correctly. so i am sorry but I will not be using it at all.

There not much content in this book. Basically it goes like this1. Use a pedometer to check how many steps you take normally for one week2. Increase this number by 20% for one week, do the same for the next week etc etc3. Ehh.... that's it!!4. PS: By the way here's a few tibits about pedometers and walkingI felt a little cheated even if it is a cheap book.
