WALKING FOR FITNESS, PLEASURE AND HEALTH
Book ID/图书代码： 04410012B54293
English Summary/英文概要： Walking is no longer a physical activity reserved for those who are too lazy to exercise. Thousands of women are discovering the wonder of walking to improve their health, fitness, stress levels and social interactions.Walking has a particular appeal to women as they adapt to the changing stages of life — from pushing prams or combating work stresses, to battling their bulges and warding off ailments in later life.
It also suits women because it fits in with the balance of career and family, and because, more than most men, they like the social aspect of walking about in little groups, nattering, supporting each other and maintaining networks.
Written by long-time walker Helen Vause and including a foreword from the co-founder of walking group Wonder Walkers Dame Susan Devoy, Walking for Fitness, Pleasure and Health is the walker’s ultimate guide. Containing chapters on how to start walking, clothing and equipment, motivation, weight loss, nutrition, walking with children, pedometers, training for events, and much more, there’s something for everyone of all levels of walking expertise.
It doesn’t matter whether you walk the dog, whether you are a race walker or an avid tramper. When people ask if you exercise, you should no longer feel embarrassed to say you ‘only walk’. Walking is now being recognised as a great form of valid exercise.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 跑步已经不再是一种仅为那些懒得不愿运动的人而保留的身体运动了。数以千计的女性逐渐发现跑步可以改善她们的健康、身形，减轻压力以及提高社交能力。 随着女性于适应生活阶段的变化—从推婴儿车或者对抗工作压力，到克服腹部隆起和抵挡晚年生活中疾病—跑步对于女性而言有一种独特的吸引力。
跑步适合女性还在于它与平衡家庭和事业紧密相关，此外就是，与大多数男性不同，女性喜欢与跑步所连接的社会因素。在那样一个小团体中，她们可以拉家常，互相支撑以及维护社交关系。
本书由长期步行运动者海伦.沃斯亲情创作，前言则由他们合办的跑步团体“非凡的步行者”（Wonder Walkers）的另一位合伙人苏珊（Dame Susan Devoy）撰写。《为健身、快乐以及健康而跑步》将是步行者的终极指导。书中的章节包括如何开始步行、如何挑选衣服和装备、如何激励自己、如何减肥、如何补充营养、如何与孩子一同步行、如何记录步程、以及如何备战大型活动等等。因而，读者总能从本书中找到适合自己水平的知识。
无论你是与小狗一起散步，还是一个竞走比赛运动员亦或者是一个狂热的步行者，那都没有关系。当别人问你是否运动，你不必为回答“只是跑跑步”而感到难为情。跑步现在已经被公认为是一项伟大的专业运动。(XMM)
