Book Reviews of Pedometer Walking: Stepping Your Way to Health, Weight Loss, and Fitness
Book Review: Great for Beginners...
Summary: 3 Stars
This book would be perfect for someone who has just purchased a pedometer and not started using it yet. I have already been using my pedometer, so I didn't find the book nearly as helpful. That said, it sets you up with a plan, with week by week instructions. For example, for the first week, you're supposed to wear your pedometer all day, but not look at it, and do your normal amount of activity - don't try and get more steps, so you can establish a baseline to improve upon.
The book has useful information on different types of pedometers, ways to get more steps, and how to take your walking to the next level (race or trail walking). Unfortunately, it was hard to read, because every page had at least 2 tables, charts, or "stories" that were separate from the chapter. I found by the time I had stopped to look at the tables, charts, and inspirational stories, I could hardly remember what the actual chapter was talking about.
But for someone who wants to start with the very basics of pedometer walking, this would be a great guide. For those of us who are already seasoned pedometer users, you will likely find a few neat tips in here, but it may not be worth it to purchase it (try the library).
