“Walking had become, once again, the great adventure of my life. But this time science could explain how and why”

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 (to name a few) 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.

Kritikerstimmen

The Queen of walking
We might think we know everything we need to about walking but there is always more to discover. This book is about how walking is connected both to old wisdom and new scientific frontiers of discovery … If you’re not a habitual walker this book will give you good reasons why you should get started and, if you are experienced, ways to keep it fresh … Fascinating
We can all learn something from 52 Ways to Walk. I know I can
The most amazing book
A delightful balance of ideas, inspiration and science. The short punchy chapters fit well between walks and make them even more enjoyable
Urges readers to put on walking shoes, offering a weekly, new perspective on walking, no matter where you live
Walking adds greatly to our lives, and this insightful and wise book adds greatly to our walking. Page after page, it's a pleasure to follow in the author's footsteps
Streets carefully breaks down the psychological and physical benefits of [walking], and makes a solid case that getting some movement in outside can help one “appreciate the exquisitely complicated and beautiful world we inhabit.” Readers ready to hit the pavement will find plenty of inspiration and information here
Spiritual, educational, and informative
Annabel Streets delves into the science and romanticism of walking and explores the good things that can happen with this one small act
Excellent ...This book should be compulsory reading for every car driver; do yourself a favour and buy it

This is a very interesting and thoroughly researched book. The author provides rich background information for every single walk, which really brings everything to life. It made me want to explore all the walks mentioned myself. I could have listened for hours more—it was that engaging and captivating.

Highly Recommended – Fascinating, Well-Researched, and Deeply Engaging
