Walk Your Way to Better Health

Walking is one of the easiest and most effective ways to beat disease, slim down, and boost your mood. You can do it anytime and anywhere. And everyone can do it, regardless of age or fitness level. But did you know there's a right way and a wrong way to walk? Do it right and you can: Lose up to 6 times more weight Double your energy Slash your risk of breaking a hip by 40 percent Burn more calories than running (yes, it's true!) Plus you'll be able to improve sleep, banish cravings, burn belly fat, and prevent a host of diseases, including diabetes, heart problems-even cancer. That's all pretty amazing, but there's more. Walk the right way and you'll also overcome boredom, pain, and other issues that may have held you back in the past. Inside you'll find seven different plans, all custom-fit to your health goals and fitness level. Also, there are dozens of motivational tips and tricks, a 21-day food plan, and easy-to-follow (and fun!) walking charts and routines. You're just steps away from the body and health that you want.
