Fitness Walking

Robert Sweetgall became an all out advocate of walking as a practical means of exercise and this book describes the process that led to his advocacy. He literally walked in the entire 50 states. He had a team supporting him. This book describes the whole challenge he undertook. The narrative is supplemented by photos. He didnt' start as an athlete, but rather describes his early years as being, "the bookworm, the scholar." He makes a convincing case that walking is a logical form of exercise for a large number of people. The personal stories about his cross country travels adds to the sell.
