About this product
NATIONAL BESTSELLER! Discover the new rules of walking to increase your health, longevity, and overall wellbeing―from two go-to experts. “A surprisingly interesting, thought-provoking, and practical read. Walk is about much more than counting your steps―it’s about enriching your life. This book does for walking what Breath did for breathing.” ―Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author
Did you know… Your risk of falls and overall longevity can be measured by your foot health
Your walking speed can predict your overall health status and risk of early death
Increasing your walking cadence has been shown to help reduce knee, hip, and lower back pain
The number of daily optimal steps is not 10,000 (spoiler alert: it’s fewer!)
What James Nestor did for breathing, Christopher McDougall and Mark Cucuzzella did for running, and Kelly and Juliet Starrett have done for mobility, founder of Gait Happens Dr. Courtney Conley and Dr. Milica McDowell do for walking.
Walking is as important to our health and longevity as sleep and proper breathing; it is the 6th vital sign. And yet we’ve almost engineered it out of our lives. Walk is an expert-driven, science-backed guide that not only underscores the power of movement to just about every aspect of our life, it restores walking to its rightful spot as one of the key pillars of health.
