Elderhiker Delivers
Elderhiker is the kind of book that 1) you may want to read when you find yourself getting a little long in the tooth, 2) you might well recommend to older folks planning to sign up for one of Bodington's walks, 3) you may want to recommend to anyone who likes hiking, and 4) makes a great gift to any "outdoorsy" person.Nice job! ...

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

Good if you want to be slimmer and trimmer
A good book for anyone who wants to get moving and look and feel better.The book could use a chapter on the need for changing our present laws which contribute to Americans' obesity and sedentary lifestyle.Ideally, such a chapter would discuss poor zoning regulations (leading to a lack of walkable neighborhoods), agricultural subsidies (leading to unnaturally cheap sugar, corn syrup, and the like) and laws favoring car use over walking and transit.Maybe in the next edition.

Connecting
I was surprised and delighted at the depth of the author's observations. The writing style brings the reader into an honest and insightful connection with others and nature, especially trees.The reader feels part of the experience. After several chapters,I am curious why other therapists do not utilize this method of healing more often than not. Nature offers a safe and trusting environment for us to surrender our inner fears. ... 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. ...
