52 Ways to Walk: The Surprising Science of Walking for Wellness and Joy, One Week at a Time

Product Information

There is a lot to motivate and invigorate a person, to maybe move from the couch to at least the end of the driveway, or block.

Full of clearly presented science, nuggets of history and infectious enthusiasm for being out in the world and simply walking as a way of tackling so many of our ills. Annabel Streets delves into the science and romanticism of walking and explores the good things that can happen with this one small act.I will be honest, the primary reason I loved this book is because the science supports everything I've already concluded from my own walking experience (I knew it! od 52 načina koje ona predlaže, neki su iskoristivi i dobrodošli podsjetnik na važnost disanja, ispravnog držanja, prikladne obuće i odjeće, hidracije bla, a neki su posve čudnovati i djeluju kao nategnuti način da se popune stranice (hodanje pjevajući, plešući ili crtajući).

Our choice of location, time, direction, duration, walking companion and gait, as well as the weather we opt to walk in, can transform our daily stroll. As a person who walks for both physical and mental health, rather than a particular destination, Annabel Streets' 52 Ways to Walk: The Surprising Science of Walking for Wellness and Joy, One Week at a Time is both an inspiration, and a revelation. Most woo walk that I actually want to try: Walk with negative air ions, which can be found near waterfalls, other flowing water, in the mountains, on a misty spring morning, or after a downpour.I am a lifelong walker, having started very very early in life as I started school at age 4 and the school was about 12 blocks from my house and I had to walk that twice a day. It's not about just adding steps to your days, but about finding peace, improving both physical and mental health, increasing creativity and more. This short, enthusiastic guide extolling walking’s mental and physical benefits, and will motivate you to get outside and move, step by step, all year.

Walking lowers your risk of diabetes, heart disease, and osteoporosis, improves cholesterol levels, helps you build strong bones and slows any bone loss as you age. I really liked it, and I'm already thinking quite a lot about all the different things you can get out of a walk.Ways to Walk is published by Bloomsbury in the UK and Putnam Penguin Random House in the US under Annabel Streets.

You definitely have to adjust the day to allow for the increased travel time, but once I made the trip I wondered why I hadn't done so before.In this book, I particularly liked how the author looked at different aspects of walking, such as alone or in groups, the benefits of walking after waking and eating and even working and walking simultaneously. The book is more nudging than pedantic and that is nice as many self- help books can be frankly a tad, no a lot bossy.
