Heavyhands available again!
Heavyhandsfitness.com A scientifically revolutionary fitness manual
This is the single best fitness, cardiovascular endurance book written ever!That is a sweeping statement, but after over 20 years of using the Heavyhands system, I can say it with conviction.Heavyhands can benefit any athlete or fitness enthusiast. And it can be used regardless of your initial level of conditioning with great results (if systematically applied).I first became familiar with Heavyhands in the 80's, and was amazed that Amazon found and offered this book.If you want to read the true secrets of cardiovascular conditioning, and body composition control, this is the book for you. It is the very best there is!

heavyhamd not availale
While this book is interesting, I defy you to find sets of heavyhands to use, I have used for years, and am trying to find more, and find that most sites that show them, are old sites, and have none, so if you buy you may need to emprevise, if you do not already have Havyhands yourself. ...

There's something for everyone in this book--except, that is, tai chi walking. You will learn to tie your shoestrings with a square knot, to let a mosquito drink its fill, not to be concerned about dogs roaming in packs, and (most usefully) to rinse your feet with 140 proof vodka.

Best book on walking
I read this book two years ago and was so excited I started walking with gusto there and then. Don't think you can't injure yourself by walking because you can and quite badly too. I completely overdid it for my fitness level and injured my achilles tendon and the tendons that run along the botton of the heel. I wish I had taken Meyers advice then and saved myself alot of time and pain. I am now back walking and starting from the beginning taking the advice from the book. The point about reaching frequency and duration goals before intensity goals is a very important one. This book is brilliant with lots of advice on how to start and how to progress. I have read alot of walking books but none are as thorough and good as this one. It might be quite old now but I wouldn't be without it. My only advice is don't get over enthusiastic by his zeal and work within your fitness. Push a little but not too hard.

A Great Book! A Walking Bible!
This book is fabulous, exactly what anyone interested in walking for health and fitness needs to get motivated and get walking! It is overflowing with solid information about how we walk and why we should walk for fitness. This book is valuable for any walker, from
Long-winded, and not just when he is walking
Although the author has a comprehensive grasp of the subject matter and valuable information to impart, he plugs products by brand and talks obnoxiously about his wife and friends. A more professional edit would have been helpful.Read more

An amazing insight for architects
Human Walking is not a book intended to fuel architects' imaginations, but all the kinds of designers will profit with the clear, enlightening explanation given by those excellent authors, about that extraordinaire natural - and civilized, as it is explained - feat. When an architect designs a sidewalk (and you will be surprised by the inadequacy of the most common or official standards of that conspicuous class of objects), she / he does not have a hint about that dynamic phenomena named "human walking". We architects really use a static model of sidewalk use and experience - and people�s needs -, and do not consider the huge variety of gaits, paces, strides, treads (the English language has dozens of denominations for this varied action) that people do perform graciously (awkwardly, lively, peacefully) as the most human of the humane movements. We walk all our lives long, walking is the destiny of human beings, as I have delightfully learned. I commend that book to designers, in order to know more deeply and soundly about a very important feature of urban life and form. ... Read more

great book
this is a great book, the author truly knows the subject matter well. I recommend this to anyone interested in getting the most out of walking for fitness.

An Inspirtational & Practical Guide to Fitness & Longevity
The Way of Walking is both an inspiratual and a practical guide to physical fitness and longevity. The book articulates the mind/body connection to health and well-being in a way that really motivates me to be serious about this walking program. The information is easy to relate to and absorb. In fact, reading this book is almost like having Dr. Moramarco there with you, helping you to get it right. The demonstration photos are also quite helpful. The Way of Walking describes a system that can work for the novice to the most fit and everyone in between (like me!). You don't need special clothes or equipment. You are not limited by age or physical condition. Having followed this program for just a few months, I feel better than I have in a long time: my legs are stronger, my endurance greater and I'm more optimistic. I'm grateful to Dr. Moramarco for sharing his knowledge and insight in The Way of Walking.I feel this system will be the backbone of my own life-long physical fitness program.

Best book on the best exercise!
This isdefinately the best book on the subject of walking.Author MoraMarco explains a simple strategy for maintaining health and gives several examples of various styles of walking.Also included are sample programs and resources to look up.I often stress to my patients that walking 20 minutes a day is the best exercise.It circulates the blood, helps burn calories, and can help keep you young.Buy the book as a gift for a loved one.It will definately let them know you care! ...
