About this listen

52 Ways to Walk is a short, user-friendly guide to attaining the full range of benefits that walking has to offer--physical, spiritual, and emotional--backed by the latest scientific research to inspire readers to develop a fulfilling walking lifestyle.

We think we know how to walk. After all, walking is one of the very first skills we learn. But many of us are stuck in our walking routines, forever walking in the same place, in the same way, for the same time, with the same people. With its thought-provoking and evidence-backed weekly walk routine, 52 Ways to Walk will encourage everyone to improve how they walk, while also encouraging them to seek out new locations (many on their own doorsteps), new walking companions (our brains age better when we mix up our fellow walkers), new times of the day and night, and new skills to acquire while walking.

Inspirational, backed by science, illuminated with human anecdote, and bolstered with how-to tips, 52 Ways to Walk will inspire, challenge, support, and encourage everyone to become more ambitious with their walking practice, revealing how walking may be the best-kept secret of the supremely healthy and happy, the creative and well-slept--those with the best posture and sharpest memories. Just about everything, it appears, can be improved and enhanced by clever and judicious walking. It turns out you actually can get more from life, one step at a time.

Captivating Book - kept wanting more!

This book was extremely well done. Every chapter was another great piece of advice that I could instantly add to my daily routine and, as someone who loves health, I really enjoyed the research sited throughout the book. I already love walking but now have even more fun ways to do it, and more things to think about while walking! Loved this book!

sparks the imagination

This book has inspired me to walk every day and given me 52 different ideas to try. I doubt I will ever walk backwards though.

Inspiring read

This book has provided more of a focus to my daily walks. I see things differently and feel more at peace afterwards. This book has inspired me to start a walking club at the elementary school which I teach. Thank you for the great read!

Great fun and great science!

Not only do the many suggestions for walking variations make the activity more enjoyable, but each chapter is backed up with the science behind the benefits. Wonderful narration makes each suggestion even more motivating while listeningand walking.
