This is a very good book and it has motivated me to start walking again.I would like to share my personal experience. I'm not in my twenties anymore and realizing that it is harder and harder to lose these extra pounds. I'm also against drastic reduction diets because they add significant stress to the body and many of them are almost impossible to fit into the daily schedule if you are working.Last summer I've managed to incorporate walking into my daily activities. I attended a course to which I walked every day and it felt so good. I lost a bit over four pounds in four weeks even though I made no significant changes in my diet (I like dark chocolate and red wine :-).A few years ago I was fortunate to walk to my job and I also experienced so many benefits - better blood pressure, increased productivity, leaner body, better sleep...Lately due to a medical condition I was less active and decided to start again with some activity.I am so glad I've read this book! It completely supports what I've already experienced. It seems that exactly what I did last summer is near the aimed 10,000 steps per day. I didn't know at the time it was that number of steps, but it was always a bit over one hour.What I like now is this measurable goal of 10,000 steps and I will now look for a good pedometer. The book is straight forward and an easy and quick read.If you have been inactive for a while and you are looking for a way to be healthier, read this book. There is nothing more natural than to walk in the open air. And sun is just another plus for your body!
