Dear Fellow Fitness-challenged readers,

Do you need to find a way to get healthy and fit? I have to tell you, fitness walking changed my life! I never thought it would be so easy to lose thirty pounds. I want to tell everyone that it works and urge you to just try it.

I know you want a healthier lifestyle, don’t we all?
But you’re busy,
and you’re tired,
and you need your sleep in the mornings,
and there’s your favorite TV show in the evenings,
and you just can’t find the time…am I right?

I’ve been in that position, overweight and hating to exercise. Determined to lose weight, I wanted to know the easiest way to fitness, so I began reading, studying and trying what worked for others, I borrowed ideas from the best and I came up with a system that combined goals, challenges and rewards that I need to share with you. The easiest way I could find to lose weight was to start burning calories with simple walking. It was easy to do, became a routine fast and had proven benefits of weight loss and new energy. I’m sure that you would take up walking if I could show you how it will bring you a painless weight loss solution.

What do you need to know to start a walking fitness program? Do you have questions like,

What time of day is best for fitness walking?
What do I do with my arms to burn calories walking?
How fast do I need to walk when walking to lose weight?
How can I even tell how fast I’m walking to burn calories?
What do I need to watch out for in walking for weight loss?
How long to I need to walk to maximize burning calories walking?
How often do I have to walk to burn calories walking?
What about stretching, warm ups and cool downs for preventing walking injuries?
What and when do I eat? Do I eat before or after my fitness walk?
How often do I need to drink water? And how much do I drink for my walking program?

What if I answered all your questions about walking? What if in addition I could give you a plan that’s structured to give you fitness, fast easy weight loss and fun?

You already know some of the benefits of walking, that it would improve your life, help you lose weight by burning calories and give you more energy. Wouldn’t you do more walking if you had more time? What if you knew how to find more time in your day? Wouldn’t you make time for a fitness walk if you could lose weight and gain energy? Please keep reading and let me tell you what I’ve learned about fitness walking.

I wrote “The Walking Challenge” to give back and to share my enthusiasm for something that has given me tremendous energy, a thirty-pound weight loss, and better health. I’m a walking enthusiast and I love to write. I’ve been an award-winning newsletter writer for more than twenty years. I’ve read dozens of books on health and fitness, and subscribe to health magazines including Health, Eating Well, Weight Watchers and Prevention, and others. My walking experience includes advancing beyond walking on carpet with a VHS tape to participation in numerous organized 3K-5K walks.

In addition to walking, I love to read and I had walking questions that I needed answers to. Now you may find it hard to believe, but there are very few authors out there writing CURRENT reference manuals for FITNESS WALKING. I know there are people like me that need a book that’s comprehensive and current, that answers all the fitness walking questions, reviews all the walking trends, styles and techniques, critiques walking shoes and pedometers and includes a system proven to get people off the couch and on their feet. So I wrote my own walking book, which I’m happy to share with you, in the hopes that you’ll find fitness walking as exciting as I do. Fitness walking can and will change your life.

“Most books take walking, a simple practical activity, and make it complicated. I like how Walking off the calories brings this activity back to a simple “start walking” approach. Walking off Calories is packed with a wide range of valuable information. It includes the benefits of walking, Frequently Asked Questions (and the answers), “SMART” goal setting and even the 10 best cities to walk in. The book is a must read. I really like the “box highlighted” information. In just a few minutes you can gain a treasure chest of information that would take hours to sift through other books.” Mike Andrews, Fitness Instructor for Edward Hospital and former strength trainer for the Chicago Blackhawks hockey team.

Allow the “The Walking Challenge” to introduce you to a new concept in walking. An e-book that offers you a comprehensive 2007 look at walking styles, breathing techniques, hydration choices, and metabolism changes, “The Walking Challenge” will change your life by motivating you to a healthy lifestyle with the Walking Challenge Personal Tracker©. According to the US Surgeon General, 30 minutes 3 times a week is what stands between you and a healthy active lifestyle. Ready to hear more?

This 2007 hot off the presses 112-page e-book brings you scientifically proven to work, pre-tested techniques which are customized to determine what will work best not for most people, but customized just for you. We will help you focus on how much you can and want to walk, what you will do to make your walk fun, educational or spiritual, whatever you want. We will help you focus on what it takes to keep you motivated. We will help you get past plateaus and lazy days to keep you going until you have successfully become an enthusiastic walker.

Most books are stale by the time they are published, but “The Walking Challenge” delivers the most up-to-date- 2007 walking and fitness information and keeps you updated monthly. You will find the motivation you never had before, you’ll meet and exceed your personalized goals and learn the power of self-reward, and auto-motivation. “The Walking Challenge is portable, keep copies on your computers, in the bathroom, on the nightstand, in the car, or download to your Palm Pilot, Blackberry or your Pocket PC.

“The Walking Challenge” provides you with the WALKING CHALLENGE PERSONAL TRACKER©. This unique system combines goal-setting, roadblock resistance, personal challenges, goal achievement tracking and a personal reward system. You will be motivated with your walking tracker and will set yourself up to win!

The Walking Challenge Personal Tracker© provides you a SEVEN-STEP system as follows:

ONE - Identify your specific health goals, both long term and short term, perhaps you need to lose weight or lower your cholesterol, or maybe you want to work up to a 3K walk.

TWO - Categorize the roadblocks that have caused you to resist an exercise program in your past, TV, the computer, too tired too sore, whatever has kept you from your goals before. You may still sometimes have these roadblocks, but we teach you how to identify them, to be sure you realize they are just roadblocks or excuses.

THREE - Choose your personal challenges, will you do 15 minutes or 5000 pedometer steps, or two miles?

FOUR - As you put your shoes on and get ready for your walk, you’ll need to do a personal check, and note how you feel and your energy level, do you feel sore anywhere, any stiffness?

FIVE - Now you’re ready to challenge yourself with a walk. Enjoy yourself with one of the many walking styles listed. We’ll teach you how to get the most out of your walking activity.

SIX - On completion of your walk, jot down what you accomplished, and how you feel, do you have more energy or less stiffness?

SEVEN – In the last step you will “give yourself five” and claim your personal reward.Imagine this….You’ve tracked your challenge at 5000 steps today. When your pedometer buzzes that you’ve achieved your goal today, you post your success on the tracker, which recommends you smile, give yourself a high five and claim your personal reward. Have a nice cold drink or a hot bath.

“You have focused on improving your health, step by step, and shared it with the world! This thorough and inspiring book has the potential to enrich the lifestyle of anyone who makes walking a priority. It creates a path to fitness that honors each individual, their style and comfort. Walking is one of the best ways to focus on improving your health span.”
Lee A. Simeone, D.P.M Elmhurst Memorial Center for Health, Elmhurst , IL

“ Great motivational book on walking with lots of additional, incidental information. It finally got me started on an exercise program that was long overdue.”
Joan Labak, Legal Secretary, LaGrange, IL

“The Walking Challenge” offers a comprehensive look at walking styles and introduces the GOALGETTER REWARD SYSTEM© to add personal rewards to your walking challenges.

Experts believe that capturing your goals in writing can make the difference in the goals you will achieve. Adding rewards to your workout for recognizing your achievements can add motivation to your walking program. Rewards should be assigned for both short-term and long-term goals. With the Goal Getter Reward System you will find the success you’ve missed with previous programs for a lifetime of fun and personal achievement.

“This is a great book. I really enjoyed it and learned a lot about walking. It gave me many new ideas for exercising (and while having more fun). Thanks for a good read.” Carol Muehleman, Ph.D., Department of Biochemistry, Rush Medical College, Chicago IL.

“The Walking Challenge” will enhance your walking and your life with breathing techniques that will increase your metabolism.

Have you heard before about the power of breathing? There’s a technique that I found that made me lose weight faster and snore less. It makes climbing stairs effortless…it’s a trick that’s as easy as well, as breathing. All the varied techniques of this revolutionary breathing kick start are included in this valuable e-book. I don’t claim to have invented them or even perfected them, but I researched the techniques that are working for others to share with you to make your walking program even better.

HERE’S A SAMPLE OF ONE OF THE BREATHING TECHNIQUES INCLUDED IN “THE WALKING CHALLENGE”:
Try this exercise on your next walk, measure out your walking steps in fours (or sixes if it’s easier). On the first three steps, bring as much oxygen as you can into your lungs. Puff all the air out on the fourth step and start all over with breathing in. OK, it takes a little practice, but it truly works. This simple breathing change elevates your metabolism. For all you walkers who don’t believe me, here’s how you can prove it. Use your heart monitor. Walk without your breathing technique for a bit and get a heart rate reading. Now don’t change your pace or motion, but add in this simple breathing technique as I described above. How much higher did your heart monitor go? How much extra effort did it cost you to increase your heart rate? It’s only breathing, but what a difference it can make! Oxygen is so important to your health and circulation. The Walking Challenge offers you several successful breathing techniques to enhance your personal walking challenge.

“It’s true that I was ready to change my life, but this time, with your book, I really did it. I started walking and you kept me going. I can’t thank you enough for the weight loss and energy I now have. “ Barbara A Sniegowski, Accountant, Lake Zurich, IL

“Thanks to your tips on breathing, I’m taking the stairs all the time now and not feeling winded at the top. It’s so easy it’s silly, but it really works.”Judy Gratz, Business Analyst and Soccer Mom, Fort Lauderdale, FL.

Doesn’t it make sense that if you are documenting how good you feel, how your health has improved, how calm you feel and your elevated energy level you’ll be more apt to keep going? OK, we are agreed. What next? Are you ready to improve your life with The Walking Challenge?
