52 Ways to Walk
52 Ways to Walk: The Surprising Science of Walking for Wellness and Joy, One Week at a Time | Annabel Streets
1 post | 1 read | 4 to read
52 Ways to Walk is a short, user-friendly guide to attaining the full range of benefits that walking has to offer--physical, spiritual, and emotional--backed by the latest scientific research to inspire readers to develop a fulfilling walking lifestyle. We think we know how to walk. After all, walking is one of the very first skills we learn. But many of us are stuck in our walking routines, forever walking in the same place, in the same way, for the same time, with the same people. With its thought-provoking and evidence-backed weekly walk routine, 52 Ways to Walk will encourage everyone to improve how they walk, while also encouraging them to seek out new locations (many on their own doorsteps), new walking companions (our brains age better when we mix up our fellow walkers), new times of the day and night, and new skills to acquire while walking. Inspirational, backed by science, illuminated with human anecdote, and bolstered with how-to tips, 52 Ways to Walk will inspire, challenge, support, and encourage everyone to become more ambitious with their walking practice, revealing how walking may be the best-kept secret of the supremely healthy and happy, the creative and well-slept--those with the best posture and sharpest memories. Just about everything, it appears, can be improved and enhanced by clever and judicious walking. It turns out you actually can get more from life, one step at a time.

I saw this by chance on Libby. It was immediately available so I thought I‘d give it a go. It‘s clearly designed to be dipped into (one walking suggestion a week) but I enjoyed it all the same, and found it useful and informative.

Each chapter is only short (4 pages ish) but gives you all the science behind the suggested walking style then some hints and tips on how to do it, including:

Walk in the cold
Amble amid trees
Walk with ions
