Being a walker I appreciated this book for the information and the encouragement it provides.Meyers was 79 years old when he wrote the book, and has had his share of physical problems during his life - including two knee replacements and, 10 years before he wrote the book, a nearly fatal massive blockage in his heart.Through all his health issues he has continued to walk, and is certain that he has reached his current age only because of it.The book spends a lot of pages comparing walking and running. As we all know, runners have injuries - in fact in any given year a runner has a 50 - 50 chance of suffering an injury that will alter or stop their training. When I was running my training was often interrupted by a torn Achilles tendon. Walkers, on the other hand, seem to remain remarkably injury free.A common theme in the book is that walking just doesn't get the respect it deserves. Walking is perceived as a "beginner's exercise", only done when for some reason the athlete can't engage in more strenuous exercises such as running. Meyers relates an incident in which, when he was 62, he was teased by a 20 year old runner during one of his walks. He challenged the youngster to a 2 mile walk, and handily beat him (thanks to the specificity principle - which states that our body does best what it does most).I completely relate to this story - back when I was training to run marathons some friends asked me to join them for a bike ride from Houston to Huntsville (about 70 miles). As I had previously done century (100 mile) bike rides and was in pretty good shape I rode with them. About half way through the ride I realized that my legs were trained for running and had lost the conditioning needed for propelling a bike. It was a miserable ride.After a through discussion of lifestyle, stretching, posture, strolling, brisk walking, aerobic walking, and walking for weight loss, Meyers expounds on what he calls high-intensity walking.Research on walkers and runners has, somewhat surprisingly, demonstrated that an athlete can obtain the same level of fitness, as measured by their oxygen intake, by walking as they can by running. Admittedly, this result only follows from high-intensity walking - defined here as walking at a pace of 12 minutes a mile or faster. Although clearly runners will cover the ground faster than walkers, a walker doing high-intensity walking can be every bit as fit as the most highly trained runner.Meyers has a chapter on how regular walkers can progress to faster paces (and higher fitness levels). The most important trick is to bend the arms at the elbow to shorten the natural period of your arm swing.The book has some not so good news for anyone walking to lose or control their weight. While exercising 3 or 4 days a week will certainly improve your overall health in many ways, it may be necessary to exercise 6 or 7 days a week to have an effect on your weight.Meyers ends the book with chapters on race walking (an under-appreciated sport), the medical aspects of walking (useful in cardiac rehabilitation, stroke, hypertension, and other diseases), and mental benefits (it's good for the brain as well!).All in all an enjoyable read about a subject I am interested in. The book has many practical suggestions for getting the maximum benefit from your walking, and incorporating a better diet into a healthy lifestyle.Recommended. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ informative book, slightly dated *by D***H on Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2022* The seller graded the book as 'good.' I think the condition was at least VERY Good!The book gives common sense advice about walking. The section on 'walking shoes is very informative, even though in 2007 there were few 'walking shoes' to choose from. Now there are many, but the advice to get walking shoes rather than running shoes seems very sensible. He explains the mechanics of feet hitting the ground do not seem to have changed with newer books.One example of how dated the book is, 'If you have a cell phone.'He starts with those who. are just starting, and progresses to serious, long distance race walkers.I hope a new edition is forthcoming, but this edition is worth the read! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Runners read this! *by C***B on Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 1999* It does not matter if you are a couch potato or a 30-mile a week runner looking for a cross training exercise, this book is for you! As a runner this book helped me dispel the illusion most runners have and that is this: Walking is for wimps and old people. I gave it a try. I figured if the author, a 60 year plus man, could walk 5 miles in 55 minutes, a runner, like me, should be able to do it too. After mile 3 (when I had to stop) I knew I had found the perfect cross training exercise. ALL the benefits of running with out injury! This book explains that walking is actually the BEST excercise that you can do and gives many examples of hard data to back up this claim. It will teach you techniques every walker at every level should know. If you are serious about staying fit or getting fit, buy this book! The only bad thing I have to say about this book is this: You can tell from the authors tone in writing that he has been on a quest to prove that walking is the best, most natural, exercise the human body can do. That walking is for everybody, not just old men and women. So why then does the cover of the book have a picture of an older man and a woman? I would have added a picture of a young man doing a good walking workout as well..... --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/8613224-walking-a-complete-guide-to-the-complete-exercise](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/8613224-walking-a-complete-guide-to-the-complete-exercise) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-05-27*
