Wonderful for Beginners
If your New Year's resolution was to start exercising but you have no idea where to start, Real-World Fitness is worth checking out. This book is a great starting place for someone new to the world of fitness like me.If you are an experienced exerciser, you're bound to find some great ideas in here, but some might be a bit basic.The theme of the book is that a little exercise is better than none at all and once you get started, you'll find it easy to continue. Great for beginners...
I have been a fan of Kathy Kaehler for a while, so I was very excited to see this book.I was a bit disappointed because it was very basic.I did find a couple of new exercises that I have incorporated into my regular workouts.I was annoyed by the way that she throws around the names of all the celebrities that she trains.The pictures and directions make the exercises very easy to follow.Overall, I would recommed this book for beginners but not for advanced exercisers.

Tips for the REAL WORLD
This book is packed full of exercises you can sneak in here and there.The card trick is amazing!Also, a section dedicated to helping a certain body part is super helpful.The wire binding is a necessity for a workout book--you can place it flat on the floor or counter when going through exercises.VERY happy with this purchase--have had it for quite a while. ...

Tamilee Webb is human too!
I have been using Tamilee's exercise videos for over 10 years and consider her to be my fitness guru.In this book, she is very open and honest about her own fitness slumps and her body's changes as she ages (she's 45).She has a helpful guide in her book about how to combine her fitness videos properly for the best results and best of all, her new plan involves walking for health.It's not a very long book, but it includes new ideas for putting together your own routine using minimal equipment.There are lots of clear, easy-to-use photos of her doing exercises and there is some content related to all-around healthy living.Her fans will like her book. ...

MUSIC IN THIS TAPE THE SAME AS "PUMP UP THE PACE" BUT ...
STILL A GREAT WALKING TAPE.Was surprised that the music (except in the Pump Up the Pace WalkFit tape there were a few different "pop" songs) was the same.I think maybe Kathy Smith should have different music for all her tapes?This is for people who like to walk and like country western music.Perfect time of year to start using these walking tapes.

A wonderful motivator for a healthy 30-minute aerobic walk
This tape is just one of a series of excellent audio cassettes by Kathy Smith which motivate you to keep moving for a great walking workout.The music is upbeat and is interspersed with reminders about technique, posture and positive attitude.You are also reminded halfway through the tape so you can turn around.I have been able to stay with my walking program on a regular basis since I began using the Kathy Smith Walk-Fit tapes and I credit the tapes with keeping me interested and motivated.

Walking is easy with Kathy Smith!
Kathy showed me how to turn a walk into a workout--wow!I've burned more fat and toned my body like no other exercise.Walking is fun and easy! I've bought all her walking audios.They're great. ... Read more

WORKED 4 ME!
I was too overweight that I had to see a podiatrist to treat my heel pain. I had other multiple health problems due to being overweight until I started Kathy Smith's walkfit programs. she's very practical,straigthforward and highly informative in her approach to fitness. Istarted the program just 4 months ago, and I can no longer go for a day w/owalking! I've lost 20 pds. and feel much healthier and happier! I live inAsia and ordered her tapes when I was in America. I absolutlely recommendher books. It has changed my way of life, and I will never regret thischoice I made!

The best motivational walking book yet!
I've taken out several books from our local library over the years about walking. Actually, that's the only type of exercise I can stick to. Doesn't cost a thing, no getting in the car; just walk out your front door. You maythink Kathy Smith is just another pretty female fitness guru trying to sella new angle. But her book has facts and not alot of chat that really makethings clear. She did a nice job with this book. You will lose weight ifyou cut some calories and walk 30-40 minutes about 5 times a week.CaseyMeyer's walking book is the only other one I've come across that's good.It's longer, but motivational also.You need to get moving and lock thatrefrigerator! ...

Best motivating tape.....
I have ordered this tape 3 times, because I keep washing it in the machine with my workout clothes. By far this is the most motivating tape trio I have had. I have used Kathy's tapes foralot of years, and this set is my favorite. I never get tired of it and she is am amazing person to listen to. I hope she comes up with more walking tapes soon!!

Walkfit audio tapes
I drag myself out of bed to walk and once I get started with one of Kathy Smith's tapes, I'm gone!She is motivating, exciting and absolutely wonderful.I couldn't make it on my treadmill (in the winter) without her tapes.

Great Walking Workout!
Once you start walking with these tapes, you'll find it hard to walk without them.You can choose among the 30, 40, and 60 minute workouts.Kathy Smith really gets you going and coaches you along.A great way tostart, and keep, fitness walking. ... Read more

Kathy Smith gets you moving!!
I have been a fan of Kathy Smith for 8 years, since I began walking for exercise.I have many walking tapes, but Kathy Smith's are my favorites, and this one is great!!Kathy has a pleasant, kind voice that encouragesyou and motivates you, while not talking too much.The music is uplifting,and makes you feel really awake and energized.I have lost 60 lbs. walkingand have maintained that loss weight.I can't even imagine continuing towalk without Kathy!!

Don't waste your money....
...a "disco" walking tape implies that it's for an advanced fitness walker....the chat and patter on the tape is annoying and presumes that the listener is a moron. Even if you are just beginning to walk forfitness, you will likely throw this tape away after the first playing. Makeyour own tape of great disco tunes; this one probably couldn't getpermission to use the good ones. Choice of tunes is lame compared to what'sout there. Another money maker for Kathy Smith butuseless for someone whoreally is serious about fast walking. ... Read more

A Good Way to Begin--Walkfit with Kathy Smith
Being new to walking by audio-cassette, I found Kathy's Walkfit tapes to be informative, with easy-listening music that gradually works one up to a fairly good walking pace.The music doesn't get boring, and the easilyheard and distinguished background beats make it easy to "walk withthe beat." Kathy's voice is a little too loud over the music, whichnecessitates turning the instructions down, and the music up, but, overall,the tapes are pretty good.

You'll love this tape!!!
On July 22, 1999, I ordered this tape.It finally arrived in early October 1999.(Not Kathy Smith's fault that's for sure.)I'm very glad I didn't cancel my order because this tape is wonderful, very informative,and quite challenging.If you're walking 3.5-4.0 mph and looking for waysto increase your speed, this tape will definitely help you. ...
