The speed of a person's walk can be broken down into four paces: A stroll, a brisk walk, the aerobic walk, and race walking. In these pages Casey Meyers explains clearly the best techniques for each of these speeds, and how to progress from the first to the last. In Walking, he tells us what he has been teaching for years: how, at the expenditure of just a few hours a week and eating sensibly, a continual walking program can not only take off weight permanently, but put you in tip-top shape.
