Call it power walking, fitness walking, or just plain walking. Indoors or out, walking is one of the healthiest and most rewarding forms of exercise available to all sorts of people, young and old. In fact, walking burns about the same number of calories per mile as running (and it's a lot easier on your knees). Walking is one of the most adaptable workout activities around - you can walk for an hour straight to make your walking program effective and to achieve your goals, or you can accumulate this hour over the course of a day.

Fitness Walking For Dummies is for anyone who wants to start an exercise program but may not have the knowledge or motivation to do it. If you're already a walking fanatic, you'll find out how to become a better fitness walker. This easy-to-understand guide is also for those who are on track to

  • Lose weight
  • Decrease blood pressure
  • Control cholesterol
  • Relieve stress
  • Prevent heart disease
  • Deal with depression

Explore what it takes to begin an exercise program by setting goals, choosing shoes, and considering nutrition to optimize your workout. Fitness Walking For Dummies also covers the following topics and more:

  • Warm-up and cool-down routines
  • Strength training
  • The four levels of walking: Lifestyle, Fitness, High-Energy, Walk-Run
  • Weight-training routines and stretches that add variety
  • Buying and using a treadmill
  • Age, pregnancy, and walking with your dog
  • Dealing with pain and injuries

Like 67 million other people in the United States who log over 201 million miles a year, you want to take advantage of all of the great things a regular walking program can do for you. Whether your goal is to improve your health or your appearance, lose weight, get stronger, feel good about yourself, or all of the above, walking can help you get to where you want to go. This book can help you do that by showing you everything you need to know about starting and maintaining a walking program.

5 stars!!! Just what I was looking for!
Size: 30mm, Color: Brown/Silver-Tone/White/30mm
This watch was just what I needed! Elastic bands had become too tight on my wrist and added to problems I was having. Quality is excellent as would be expected from Timex! The indigo light is an added bonus. Very nice watch for anyone! Easy to read quickly.

Perfect EXCEPT for the Noise
Size: 30mm, Color: Pink/Rose Gold-Tone/Cream/30mm, Size: 30mm, Color: Pink/Rose Gold-Tone/Cream/30mm
My ideals for a watch are: full numerals, easy to read (good contrast and numbers, lines for the minutes and hours), light up function, case under 33mm, swappable bands, and preferably cute, in either silver color or rose gold color. This one checks all the boxes... And is the only one I've found which does. You can see on the picture that I replaced the band. Now here's the problem... The watch is LOUD! The analog watch I'm replacing is entirely quiet except when brought to the ear. This one... I hear it from feet away. My husband hears it from feet away too. I've tried two of the same model and they're equally loud. It gets distracting for me. Not at night, as the blankets mute it up, but during the day. Holding my phone typing this up, or during work, conversations... even when driving I hear it over the engine and traffic noise, because the driving position brings it closer to me, tick tick tick tick. It's impressive how that sound can carry. I've read on the internet a few people saying they improved the noise of their Timex watches by removing the hand that does the seconds. I love having it but I might just get desperate enough to try this little operation. This is the perfect watch for me except for that problem. So sad. (EDIT: I did end up trying to remove the seconds hand. It did quiet down the watch. Unfortunately, I also broke the watch in the process of putting it back together. I've decided to cut my losses and I'm now wearing a Fossil Carlie Mini (roughly $100, and available on Amazon, entirely quiet). Doesn't light up or have full numerals but what can you do. I wear a cheap digital that can light up at night and make do.)

Love it
Size: 30mm, Color: Pink/Rose Gold-Tone/Cream/30mm, Size: 30mm, Color: Pink/Rose Gold-Tone/Cream/30mm
This is a great simple watch. It fits my wrist well and is very comfortable. I really like the champagne/pink band along with the rose gold face. I didn’t realize if you push the button on the side of the face that it lights up for easy reading in the dark. Nice detail! Feels like really good quality! I hope it lasts me a long time.

Beautiful and reliable!
Size: 30mm, Color: Pink/Rose Gold-Tone/Cream/30mm
I just love it. It is beautiful, comfortable and I love the back light! I tried two or three smart watches that were reasonably priced and none of them worked well. I did not want to spend several hundred dollars for a watch. I finally decided on a good reliable watch and chose time mix. I’m really glad I did.
