'Fascinating ... Connected both to old wisdom and new scientific
frontiers of discovery' Lauren Laverne ________________________ 'We
can all learn something from 52 Ways to Walk. I know I can.'
Michael Ball, BBC Radio 2 ________________________ Walking
strengthens our bodies, calms our minds and lifts our spirits. But
it does so much more than this. Our vision, hearing, respiration,
sleep, cognition, memory, blood pressure, sense of smell and
balance are all enhanced by how we walk. For instance: * Walking in
cold weather burns extra fat and builds more muscle. * Walking
alone strengthens our memories. * Walking in woodland helps us
sleep. * And there's nothing more restorative than a romantic
nighthike. Our choice of location, time, direction, duration,
walking companion and gait, as well as the weather we opt to walk
in, can transform our daily stroll. Here, Annabel Streets shares
the thrill of 52 different ways to walk, explaining the latest
science behind each one, and providing practical tips for making
the most of your daily steps. 52 Ways to Walk is a revelatory and
informative handbook for anyone stuck in a walking rut, curious
about the lesser-known benefits of walking or merely in need of
some on-foot novelty and adventure.
_________________________________ Beautifully designed and
pocket-sized, 52 Ways to Walk is a love letter to walking.
