About this listen
Join the millions who are walking for fitness across the globe today!
Does the thought of jogging around your neighborhood fill you with dread? Do you yearn to get fitter but don't want the expensive gym membership? Do you have little spare time but still have the inclination to get out and lose weight? Then this book could be for you!
Taking those first steps on the road to fitness can be the hardest for many people. The thought of buying all that kit or spending hours down the gym can often be the most off putting. However there is something that we all do every day that can make us fitter and healthier without us even realizing. Yes that's right, it's walking. Just taking a few extra steps each day can have surprising results, even if you have never exercised before. Studies have shown that walking just for 20 minutes can have a positive effect on mood, improve heart health and blood pressure, not to mention burning calories and increasing your metabolism. Whatever the initial motivation, walking is a fun and rewarding pursuit.
Here's a preview of what's inside:
- The health benefits of walking
- What you need to get started
- Nutrition and hydration
- Short or long distance waking tips
- Preparing and warming up

Before beginning a muscle-building program, it is critical to understand its purpose. Muscle is simply the tissue in our body that provides us with the necessary power to move in various directions. As bodybuilders, our primary focus is on skeletal muscle. What exercises can we perform to improve our bodies and increase muscle? It is critical to remember that each individual has a unique body mass. Muscles must be exercised to be strengthened. This necessitates weight training. You can begin with modest weights and gradually increase them.

It is widely believed that improving your appearance will lead to success in other areas; jobs, relationships, personal well-being. And while there are some studies which suggest this is the case - for example, because of the biases which are often expressed against heavier people at school and in the workplace - there are others who argue these effects don't last beyond first impressions. The truth is, devoting too much attention to appearances can damage a person's self-esteem.
