Introduction

Walking is the safest and most convenient activity or weight control, ailment-free health, and all-round physical fitness. But walking is much more than these - it is about growth, success, determination, dedication, about an 'I can' and an 'I will' attitude, and about the pleasures of walking.

This book includes programmes for diet-conscious people, beginners, the aged, and for a health-conscious lifestyle.

In just about two months of this programme, you can expect firmer muscles, stronger bones, fewer inches around the waist, thighs and buttocks, and fewer tensions, leading to a healthier and more active life.

Did you know that walking uses large portions of muscle groups in your legs and arms in a steady, rhythmic pattern? No wonder it is recommended for not just fitness but for total health too. It is the cornerstone of a total approach to personal fitness. Walking is one exercise that offers multiple advantages at a minimum cost and with least effort.
