Congratulations! You've just taken the most important step toward ensuring your optimal weight and better health--making the commitment to do something about it. Few activities provide as much overall health benefits as walking, and did you know that on a daily basis you probably already walk 900 to 3,000 steps, even with a relatively sedentary lifestyle?
Celebrity fitness trainer GREG ISAACS and 10,000 Steps a Day(tm) to Your Optimal Weight shows you how making modest changes to your daily routine can easily increase your walking count to 10,000 steps, helping to:
* REDUCE YOUR RISK of serious health problems, including heart disease, stroke, diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis and osteoporosis
* STRENGTHEN bones, joints, muscles and tendons, promoting long-term muscular and skeletal health and reducing the risk of injury as you age (stronger abs and back muscles will also reduce stubborn upper-body fat and backache pain)
* DECREASE stress, anger, tension and fatigue
Walking not only fights the effects of aging, but it's safe, easy, inexpensive, and best of all... it works! Complete with tips on healthy eating habits and encouraging success stories, this easy-to-follow guide will outline the number of steps involved in your everyday activities--from taking the stairs at work, to shopping for groceries, to walking the dog! You can even customize your walking program to suit your current fitness level and personal weight loss goals.
The 10,000 Steps a Day(tm) program is ideal for anyone wanting to shed unwanted pounds and maintain good overall health. WALK your way to a trimmer, healthier YOU!

Finally, a fitness program that works for me!
I love this book! I have never been good about exercise, and usually just get overwhelmed about starting a fitness plan, or if I do, I can't stick with it. Too busy, too tired, etc. I finally gave up on my diet and fitness books (I own a ton I never use). But a friend was recently inspired to start with 10,000 STEPS after she heard the author on the radio. She said it has really motivated her, so she recommended it, thinking I could easily do it, too.
I was skeptical as always, but I promised I would try it, and we started doing some of our walking together. I wanted to post a review and let people know that this book is great! For some reason, after all the other stuff I've tried, the 10,000 STEPS A DAY plan is actually working for me. I started using the pedometer that comes with the book as soon as I got it, about a month and a half ago, and Ive already increased my daily steps to 10K, just by using some of the super easy tips and suggestions he gives you. I especiallly like how simple the book is to follow. Unlike some of my other ones, the author doesn't seem to ask too much of you at once. He makes you believe that just simply walking really CAN help you get healthy. After about 6 wks, I not only have more energy, am in a better mood, etc., but I've miraculously lost almost 5 POUNDS already! And it really doesn't even take much time out of my day. Counting with the pedometer really helps me to know when I need to do something more to get my step count up for the day. There is SO much great info about how even the simplest changes can help (incl. eating tips, like replacing soda with tea, how to eat less salt, sample menus). After I do this a bit longer and hopefully see more results, I am going to try to start some of his strength training exercises, too. I have so much more energy already, just from the past 6 weeks, it doesn't feel as overwhelming anymore to think about gradually adding a few strength exercises during the week.
After only 6 weeks and minimal effort I already feel like I found something I can stick with, finally! It's been a little cold lately, but I'm able to use my husband's treadmill on bad days to keep my step count up. I love this book and would highly recommend it to anyone frustrated like I was. Another thing is it's small and portable, so I always have it tucked in my bag. When I have a few extra minutes, I always manage to find another helpful tip to keep me motivated. Different things work for different people, but I really would encourage anyone to try this. If it's working for me, it could work for anyone! I don't know if I'll ever get so crazy about exercise that I become a gym rat, but walking is SO easy for me, and if I'm dicsiplined about it, it really does help. Also, on each page the author mentions www.tenksteps.com. I discovered that there are more of his tips there, and there are also a few people on the program who are keeping a blog about their progress, which is also encouraging to read now and then. Mr. Issacs, if you're reading this, thank you! What else can I say? BUY THIS BOOK!
Easy way to Health and Fitness
Anyone can use this book. It is written in a friendly, easy to read and understand style. Easy to get started on a life-long healthy activity that anyone, any age, young or elder, can do. We all feel better when we exercise and this is an inexpensive, easy to do it. The information, instruction, advice are great. We loved the quotes too. Highly recommend this book to purchase and use.
Great Book, Great Program, Poor Pedometer
The information in the book is easy to follow and I have already started losing weight on a 10,000 steps program. However I am using a different, inexpensive pedometer because I found the pedometer included with the book counted every jiggle of my leg as a step - over counting steps by the thousands. Book is recommended, pedometer is not.
