Description
IF FEET COST MONEY, walking would be the Sport of Kings –strolling in the city, roaming in the country, sauntering, hiking, seeing, breathing-feeling alive and exhilarated, feeling at ease and at peace. And in this age of miracle drugs and medical marvels, the gentle art of walking has been rediscovered as a "best medicine" for dealing with the mental, emotional and physical stresses that surround us.
Here, then-first of its kind-is a complete guide to the soul-soothing, eye-opening, nerve- calming, health-giving Magic of Walking...a magic that everyone of any age can enjoy.
Walking to keep fit. The walk as disease preventer, pound remover, tension reliever, brain stimulator, problem solver... how to do what is good for you while having a wondertul time.
Walking to sleep better. How you can literally "walk away" from whatever keeps you awake.
Walking to find serenity, to clear your mind. The secret of walking with vour head as well as vour feet.
Walking as adventure. Walks for every taste and temperament...far away or just around the corner. How to make an event of a stroll in your own neighborhood. The weekend wanderer. The Big Walk-how to plan a week's tour in the grand manner. Where to go, what to wear, what to take, the classic rules of the sport. The hobby walk, on the trail of nature, history, architecture. Bird watching and people watching. The zigzag walk, the roundabout walk. How to take pictures as you walk, with and without a camera.
