Publisher's summary

Up from the sofa, lace on the shoes, and out the door. We know that sitting is the new smoking, but how to get from the sofa to actually looking forward to walking a few thousand steps a day.
This is the book to motivate you, give you some ideas to keep you going, a few suggestions about types of walks, a hazard warning, and more.
Do you find it a joke that simple walking now has its own tech assist list? Motivators like step counters and podcasts can help. We walk through some choices.
Oh, and what is Elder, anyhow? Let's reclaim the word. It doesn't mean decrepit any more.
Written by an elder who has experienced the stages between "Who me? No thanks." and "Let's meet at eight, and plan on coffee after 3000 steps," this book will start slow and nearby, and progress to a regular, healthy routine.
For yourself or someone you know who would benefit from more movement in their life, this book may be just the encouragement you (or your parent, aunt, neighbor...) have been waiting for.
