New Website Dedicated to America's Most Popular Sport - Fitness Walking - is Launched

Aug. 5, 2008 - PRLog -- The Fitness Walking Guide (http://the-fitness-walking-guide.com) is a new website devoted to the sport of fitness walking.

Fitness walking is the most popular sport used by Americans for weight loss and fitness. Walkers enjoy an incredible array of physical and emotional benefits which include a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, memory loss, brain deterioration and some forms of cancer. Walking can also improve moods, reduce anxiety and slow the physical signs of aging.

Walking is a cheaper, greener alternative to driving. Choosing to walk instead of drive is a great way to save money on gas and reduce green house gases and improve air quality.

In addition, walking is easier on the knees, ankles and back than higher intensity act ivies such as running. Walking burns calories, tones muscles and strengthens bones. It is easy to see why walking is the perfect exercise for so many people.

Despite its popularity, there are few websites devoted entirely to fitness walking. The Fitness Walking Guide was designed entirely for fitness walkers to educate, inspire and motivate individuals to achieve their fitness and weight loss goals through walking.

This new site is a complete guide to the sport of fitness walking and includes pertinent information for getting started, such as safety tips and advice for selecting the necessary clothing and equipment.

Visitors will also find a complete plan for weight loss, a guide to selecting the best walking music as well as advice on how to stay motivated and track progress.

Several articles are provided on stroller walking for moms. Stroller walking is a wonderful way to exercise without leaving baby at home. Both mom and baby benefit tremendously from stroller walking.

The Fitness Walking Guide is a great resource for those new to the sport or for those who need additional tools and tips to achieve their fitness goals.
