Imagine my surprise when walking solved my major health problem!
-Watch my video below for the complete story-
Are you like me? Or, should I say like I was in the recent past.
Injured again from running, not exercising due to the injury, my body not recovering as quickly as it did when I was younger, and feeling a little depressed.

I needed help to get in shape during the rehab from my back injury.

I found walking is the easiest way to get in shape and stay in shape.

Why should you be enthusiastic about Walking for Health and Fitness?

  • Walking is free.
  • Walking is easy to do.
  • Walking is easy on your muscles, joints, and bones!

Walking for Health and Fitness gives you specific steps to take to get moving today and keep you moving well into the future. Its 170-pages were designed to be read quickly, highlight the benefits of walking, and most importantly... get you out the door walking!

Each of its 22 chapters ends with “Your Next Step”; a very simple plan-of-action to follow as you begin your walking exercise.

Discover the benefits of listening to audiobooks with the FREE DOWNLOAD of the Walking for Health and Fitness Audiobook.

An investment in yourself!
Doctor’s visits, lost time at work, and the lessened quality of life due to preventable illness all add up to a significant sum of time and money.

This book is an investment in yourself! What could be better than that? Your health, happiness, and life depend on it!

There's no question walking is good for you.
Think about the tortoise and the hare. When you take a long-term view of the benefits of walking for health and fitness, you’ll see it makes sense to slow yourself down and to continue to walk for fitness to stay healthy well into old age.

Also, let me show you how to get in shape after 50.

The book is organized into 4 sections:

  1. Getting Started
  2. Basic Training
  3. Beyond the Basics
  4. Mindset

Don’t become a statistic!

  • Health care costs steadily increase with body mass
  • Obesity is one of the biggest drivers of preventable chronic diseases
  • Heart disease and stroke cost America nearly $1 billion a day
  • Low back pain has a major economic impact with total costs related to this condition exceeding $100 billion per year.

Your Next Step:
You must decide right now not to become a statistic. You have it within yourself to take control of your health!

After a back injury forced me out of work for four months, I began walking for exercise as a way to get in shape.

Being out in the fresh air, feeling the rhythmic movement of the walking stride, and using walking meditations to get deeper into my thoughts with a walking meditation.

As a walker I've:

  • Slowed down and improved my mindset
  • Done Walking meditation
  • Listen and absorbed audiobooks
  • Take pictures
  • Recorded my thoughts into my iPhone
  • Looked forward to my walks


Also, I supercharge my walk with bodyweight exercises and I've used walking to lose weight!

In contrast, when I was a runner and worked out at the gym I’d have to get myself psyched up just to get out the door and I usually used the little annoyances in life as an excuse to not work out.

Walking has worked wonders in my life so let me show you how to get in shape and use walking for exercise to improve your health and fitness.

Discover how to get in shape the easy way.

Walk on,
Frank S. Ring

    5.0 out of 5 stars This fitness walking program works.
    Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    I've been walking for many years when the weather is nice; not to hot, not to cold, if it doesn't rain, if I'm in the mood, etc, etc. My motivation shifts like a leaf in the wind. This fitness walking program is different because it gives instructions for working out as I'm walking. For instance, I used to just walk. That's walk you do when you walk, right? You walk. Boring!!! Now when I walk I stop every mile or so to do leg stretches or push ups on a wall. Because I had double knee surgery I can't get up from the ground like you young people can. However, I can do the workouts at home and I do. It's very motivating to come home from my walk and feel good and have more energy.
    Frank explains in detail how fitness walking increases your strength and endurance.

    If you are new to walking for fitness this book will provide all the basics to get you started and keep you motivated. It’s a bit repetitious at times but the author is an enthusiastic proponent of walking and offers numerous tips to keep your walks fun and interesting. It appears he also has a website which I have not visited yet.

    This book is filled with great information! The fitness center where I was a member for several years, just closed down. Although I hadn’t been consistent with attending workout sessions recently, my goal was to get back into a routine again. Walking for Health and Fitness has provided me with a way to exercise that’s free and easy to do. Frank Ring is so knowledgeable. I highly recommend reading his book and taking his advice to improve your health and well-being!

    Save your money. Summery: sitting is bad, walking is good, go to my website and buy stuff and don't forget to go to my social media pages to like, share and subscribe. I didn't really need the author to tell me to take my house key with me when I go for a walk.
    Cheers!

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 17, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    I have recently developed a massive love of walking during lockdown, and now cannot go a day without a getting out amongst recently discovered roads, tracks and byeways. This book is quite basic and sometimes repetitive, but really inspiring and informative. I dip into it whenever I need a bit of motivation to get out and walk. The best thing, though, is that you can sign up to the newsletter and get daily emails and downloads that keep you enthused. For a small outlay you get a great package

    Very disappointing. Most of the book is filled with waffle. The author constantly directs you to his web site in order to find information that should be included in the book and isn't. Not recommended.
