Editorial Review: Product Description: Includes FREE Pedometer! Congratulations! You've just taken the most important step toward ensuring your optimal weight and better health--making the commitment to do something about it. Few activities provide as much overall health benefits as walking, and did you know that on a daily basis you probably already walk 900 to 3,000 steps, even with a relatively sedentary lifestyle? Celebrity fitness trainer GREG ISAACS and 10,000 Steps a Day(tm) to Your Optimal Weight shows you how making modest changes to your daily routine can easily increase your walking count to 10,000 steps, helping to: * REDUCE YOUR RISK of serious health problems, including heart disease, stroke, diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis and osteoporosis * STRENGTHEN bones, joints, muscles and tendons, promoting long-term muscular and skeletal health and reducing the risk of injury as you age (stronger abs and back muscles will also reduce stubborn upper-body fat and backache pain) * DECREASE stress, anger, tension and fatigue Walking not only fights the effects of aging, but it's safe, easy, inexpensive, and best of all... it works! Complete with tips on healthy eating habits and encouraging success stories, this easy-to-follow guide will outline the number of steps involved in your everyday activities--from taking the stairs at work, to shopping for groceries, to walking the dog!

 Rating: - Best basic walking bookThe author has written a thorough book covering the basics of exercise physiology. Anybody who reads this book will have enough information to begin a walking program from beginning to advanced. Rating: - A good choice for the informationIt would not be appropriate for me to try to walk 10,000 steps a day at this point in my life. I'm 67, have bad knees and arthritis. I had knee surgery a couple of years ago and that did get me off the walker and cane, but I'm still not normal for a woman of my age. The book is great because it doesn't take it for granted that you are 35 and just a bit under-active. There is information in there even for people like me. And even a surprise because it turned out that I had already progressed ...

It suggests you wear the pedometer for 2 weeks to get a baseline steps per day. I bought the book and was ready to get started and I was not interested in waiting for 2 more weeks. There was nothing new to learn from this book except how many step a minute you can count for other exercises. I teach 8 water aerobic classes a week and wanted to now how to count that. My summary of the book is "skip the book, buy a ...

However I am using a different, inexpensive pedometer because I found the pedometer included with the book counted every jiggle of my leg as a step - over counting steps by the thousands. Book is recommended, pedometer is not. Rating:  - A Helpful Healthy JourneyThis book not only provides insight on "How to Get to YOUR Optimal Weight", it also provides so many helpful things to gain better health. I am grateful for this book because it is helping "me" to gain perspective on becoming a better, much leaner, and healthier person. The contents have inspired, motivated, and encouraged me to continue on my Healthy Journey!!! Browse for similar items by category:
