Walk This Way

Gentle and practical inspiration for getting the most out of your walking. More of us than ever have discovered walking, both as a means of exercise and to escape the strains of daily life. But in our time-poor society we can feel pressure to see and feel results in every step we take. Gill Stewart, a fitness professional and walking expert, teaches us how to harness the real power of walking by fully engaging with the benefits of spending time outdoors and progressing our walks further - beyond simply measuring our steps, speed or miles. Walk This Way focuses on 'total body walking' ­­- a unique holistic approach drawing on every element of fitness and wellbeing. Not only do we master the basics, such as which muscles to use to avoid injury, how to plan routes and how to stay safe, but Stewart also shows us how to add different elements to our walks each day to ensure we always return home feeling like we've gained some results or reward. You'll feel inspired to strike a pose, enjoy the dawn chorus, perform a fitness drill or even brew a wild tea! It's about keeping the joy in walking and not letting it become a chore.
