Customer Reviews

good for performance oriented walkers

This book is excellent for those who want to either walk for exercise or want to walk for sport (i. e., races). There are many excellent photos which describe proper walking technique and common technique errors.There is also a section on racewalking and what to expect at official judged racewalks.This book should fit the needs of either powerwalkers or novice racewalkers.

A great book from the basics to the advanced.

I really enjoyed this book and give to aspiring walkers. It really makes a nice connection from "walking" to Racewalking.
