'Walking - The Complete Book' will motivate you to get moving, avoid aches and pains, and enjoy a more energetic life. Whether you are just starting to walk around the block, or have been active for years, 'Walking - The Complete Book' has a world of information that will make you want to walk every day, as it helps you improve the experience. Author Jeff Galloway has worked with over 150,000 average people, who were mostly couch potatoes before they followed his exercise routines. Many have gone on to finish 26-mile-marathons or half- marathons. Virtually all of them find that 20-30 minutes spent on this simple exercise bestows more vitality, and a better mental attitude than anything else during their day. This book explains why, with step-by-step information to keep moving forward - for life.

Jeff Galloway was an average teenage runner who kept learning and working harder, until he became an Olympian. He is the author of the best-selling running book in North America ('Galloway's Book on Running') and is a Runners World columnist, as well as an inspirational speaker for more than 200 running and fitness sessions each year. He has worked with over 150,000 average people in training for specific goals and Galloway's quest for an injury-free marathon training program led him to develop group training programs in 1978. Galloway is the designer of the walk-run, low mileage marathon training program (Galloway RUN-WALK method) with an over 98% success rate.
