I had ordered six of these to be used as part of Wellness prize drawings for a company. The transaction was smooth, and they arrived when promised but the condition of the packaging was not good. They were scratched, dirty, had gummy remains of price stickers on them and were dented. I did not have time to send them back, so we cleaned them up as best we could.

Anyone can use this book. It is written in a friendly, easy to read and understand style. Easy to get started on a life-long healthy activity that anyone, any age, young or elder, can do. We all feel better when we exercise and this is an inexpensive, easy to do it. The information, instruction, advice are great. We loved the quotes too. Highly recommend this book to purchase and use.

I love this book! I have never been good about exercise, and usually just get overwhelmed about starting a fitness plan, or if I do, I can't stick with it. Too busy, too tired, etc. I finally gave up on my diet and fitness books (I own a ton I never use). But a friend was recently inspired to start with 10,000 STEPS after she heard the author on the radio. She said it has really motivated her, so she recommended it, thinking I could easily do it, too.
I was skeptical as always, but I promised I would try it, and we started doing some of our walking together. I wanted to post a review and let people know that this book is great! For some reason, after all the other stuff I've tried, the 10,000 STEPS A DAY plan is actually working for me. I started using the pedometer that comes with the book as soon as I got it, about a month and a half ago, and Ive already increased my daily steps to 10K, just by using some of the super easy tips and suggestions he gives you. I especiallly like how simple the book is to follow. Unlike some of my other ones, the author doesn't seem to ask too much of you at once. He makes you believe that just simply walking really CAN help you get healthy. After about 6 wks, I not only have more energy, am in a better mood, etc., but I've miraculously lost almost 5 POUNDS already! And it really doesn't even take much time out of my day. Counting with the pedometer really helps me to know when I need to do something more to get my step count up for the day. There is SO much great info about how even the simplest changes can help (incl. eating tips, like replacing soda with tea, how to eat less salt, sample menus). After I do this a bit longer and hopefully see more results, I am going to try to start some of his strength training exercises, too. I have so much more energy already, just from the past 6 weeks, it doesn't feel as overwhelming anymore to think about gradually adding a few strength exercises during the week.
After only 6 weeks and minimal effort I already feel like I found something I can stick with, finally! It's been a little cold lately, but I'm able to use my husband's treadmill on bad days to keep my step count up. I love this book and would highly recommend it to anyone frustrated like I was. Another thing is it's small and portable, so I always have it tucked in my bag. When I have a few extra minutes, I always manage to find another helpful tip to keep me motivated. Different things work for different people, but I really would encourage anyone to try this. If it's working for me, it could work for anyone! I don't know if I'll ever get so crazy about exercise that I become a gym rat, but walking is SO easy for me, and if I'm dicsiplined about it, it really does help. Also, on each page the author mentions www.tenksteps.com. I discovered that there are more of his tips there, and there are also a few people on the program who are keeping a blog about their progress, which is also encouraging to read now and then. Mr. Issacs, if you're reading this, thank you! What else can I say? BUY THIS BOOK!
