Gary Yanker's Sportwalking

Author of The Complete Book of Exercise Walking, Walking Workouts and America's Greatest Walks, Yanker here promotes walking for solitary or group recreation. Various aspects of the increasingly popular sportwandering and hiking, marching and striding, long-distance walking and race walkingare explored, as well as the requirements and potential. Preparation and training methods are the book's core, relayed in a zesty style that sets this guide above its standard exercise-and-diet brethren. (April)
