Gentle and practical inspiration for getting the most out of your walking. More of us than ever have discovered walking, both as a means of exercise and to escape the strains of daily life. But in our time-poor society we can feel pressure to see and feel results in every step we take. Gill Stewart, a fitness professional and walking expert, teaches us how to harness the real power of walking by fully engaging with the benefits of spending time outdoors and progressing our walks further - beyond simply measuring our steps, speed or miles. 'Walk This Way' focuses on 'total body walking' - a unique holistic approach drawing on every element of fitness and wellbeing.
'For anyone who wants to improve their fitness, or simply get outside and walk, and discover how much nature has to offer us for health and well-being'
Stefan Batorijs, author of Wild Life: Shinrin-Yoku and The Practice of Healing with Nature
Rediscover the simple power of walking
We all know that walking is good for us. It strengthens our muscles and bones, improves our general health and relaxes the mind. But how do we keep the joy in walking and stop it becoming a chore?
Gill Stewart is a walking expert and fitness professional who has developed a unique holistic approach to help us reap the myriad benefits of walking - for our mind and our body.
Designed for all levels of walker, from beginners to more seasoned hikers, Walk This Way is packed with gentle and practical inspiration to ensure you gain something from every walk you take. You'll learn how to:
- Master the basics and avoid injuries
- Connect with nature and your surroundings for a calmer mind
- Incorporate fitness drills to strengthen your body
- Challenge yourself and keep the fun in every step.
Walk This Way shows how a simple walk is not only life-changing, but something to be enjoyed too. All you need is an open mind and a pair of comfortable shoes.

Additional Delivery Information (and some really important bits):
UK Delivery
Orders for delivery in the UK are normally despatched by Royal Mail, using the RM 48 Tracked Service with most orders delivered to you within a few days of placing your order with us. For larger parcels, Courier and Signed For delivery services may be used. Signed Books are shipped in our specially made book mailing cartons, with the books themselves wrapped in paper to protect them. Sometimes we may ship your order in several parts, particularly if you have 'Pre-Order' titles in your order or titles which are held in stock with our publishing partners.
The Really Important Bit: Because we use tracked, courier and signed for delivery services, please use an address at which your parcel can be received during the normal working day, for example, you may want to have your order delivered to your work address if you're not at home during the day.

Another Really Important Bit: There are a number of Postcodes in the UK for which we will need to charge a shipping supplement, this will be calculated once we know the size and weight of the shipment. For these orders we will contact customers to agree a suitable and economic method of shipping. There may also be additional time required for delivery to some areas of the United Kingdom. Where possible, we will ship book orders (under 2kg) by Royal Mail to all UK postcodes. Large multiple book orders and books over 2kg are often shipped via APC Overnight or similar, regardless of Postcode.
