It worked for me in Europe

I am an American who lived in Europe for about 8 years. I walked everywhere, probably 4 or more miles a day. I weighed about 180 back then. I now live in the U.S. (Dallas) and weigh about 192. I can tell you, walking works. My dad told me when he visited me in Europe how fit I was and thin. I ate all the same "fatty" foods as now, and drank as much beer, but I still was thinner, because I walked so much. This book shows you how to do it. I now have a pedometer on my belt and I try to get the "gold standard" of about 9,500 steps a day, which is the average in central Europe. I know this works, because I did it.

Walking is the best Medicine (Hippocrates)

This important walking recommendation and lifestyle advice was already given around 450 BC by the classic Greek physician Hippocrates. "Pedometer Walking" is a very welcome and timely book by experts to update this advise with the help of a modern stepcounter.
Quality pedometers, by simply counting your daily steps, are excellent and clever tools to motivate, measure and improve your personal daily walking habits.
The book is packed with practical quality advise to take full advantage of walking for your health with a reliable pedometer. Thereby stimulating your vascular health - improving your bloodpressure, bloodsugar and cholesterol - and therefore contributing to the prevention and treatment of many chronic diseases. I am convinced this book can be of great practical help for nearly everyone.

As a public health physician and a personal practitioner of pedometer walking since long, the benefit of walking with a pedometer for me is above all that it acts as a very effective monitoring and motivating device for more daily steps. Walking with a pedometer doubled my daily steps from about 5000 to more than 10.000 a day. It can stimulate many to improve the quality of their daily life and easily adopt a more active and healthy lifestyle by regular walking with a pedometer.
