Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)At 50 years old with aching knees due to years of tennis, running, racquetball, and basketball, I needed an alternative to fuel my competitive instincts, and keep my aging body in shape. Brent Bohlen's BoomerWalk gave me just what I needed on both fronts...racewalking. Bohlen clearly explains why boomers like me should take up racewalking. He breaks down the fundamentals of the art using excellent illustrations, offers training tips, then mixes in profiles of newbie and experienced competitive racewalkers, and their strategies for success. The book reminds me of Dave Pelz' Putting Bible. Everything you need to get off the couch and back in competition is in this book. If you're like me, your copy of Bohlen's book will never be far away. Save your knees! Try racewalking and get back in the game!

BoomerWalk is written for the 75 million aging baby boomers who need a highly aerobic but low-impact alternative to running and jogging to maintain or regain fitness. Racewalking, a technique that can be learned quickly but that may be perfected for a lifetime, is the ideal joint-friendly exercise for fitness and vigor into old age. The sport even offers competition for those who want it. BoomerWalk identifies the benefits of racewalking, describes the fundamentals of technique and includes detailed photos of baby boomer athletes exhibiting proper form. Profiles of 14 racewalkers with ages ranging from middle 50s to early 90s illustrate the life-long benefits of the sport.
