The 90-Day Fitness Walking Program
A day-by-day guide to starting and maintaining a fitness walking program for first-time exercisers or those who have tried exercising and failed. Meant to be read one day at a time (in two minutes a day), the program starts with a ten-minute walk and builds safely and gradually to the Surgeon General’s recommendation of a brisk 30-minute walk on most, preferably all, days a week. Along the way, readers learn all the fitness basics from stretching, warm-up exercises, and injury prevention, to choosing shoes and clothing and keeping an exercise log.
