Great Walking Info:
Each issue is packed with information for every kind of walker. A recent issue reviewed water carrier packs, insulin resistance, squash recipes, and mindfulness, volksmarch walking, racewalking, overtraining, trail shoes, orienteering, walking relays, environmental volunteering, and feeding your dog. While event information often focuses in the Northwest USA, the articles are of great value to walkers everywhere.
Expert Advice:
Judy Heller, racewalking coach and personal trainer, is a regular contributor. Nutrition expert Ronda Gates, MS provides sound nutritional advice. The magazine accepts articles from a variety of contributors.
Give the Gift of Walking:
I highly recommend Walk About Magazine for all walkers. For the walker on your gift list, it is a gift they will appreciate all year long.
