Americans by the millions name walking as their favorite form of exercise. THE SPIRITED WALKER introduces the idea of expanding one's walking regimen from simply a physical workout to a spiritual one--a fitness routine for the body AND soul. Championship race walker Carolyn Scott Kortge draws upon the Buddhist concept of the "walking meditation" to promote the transformative benefits of putting one foot in front of the other.

From the rear cover

No matter how fast or how far you walk, no matter what your goals or fitness level, wheter you walk on a treadmill or in a forest, alone or with companions, this guide will lead you along a path of mental and physical exercise that travels from sole to soul. Author Carolyn Scott Kortge, an award-winning journalist and masters racewalker, offers a wealth of easy-to-do breathing exercises, visualizations, and active affirmations that transform fitness walking into a meditative practice'of awareness, spiritual renewal, and physical vitality. "Whatever your motivation for walking-- relaxation, aerobic fitness, weight loss, a healthy heart, or interaction with nature-- a spirited walk can become the first step in a spiritual journey," Kortge says. With humor, anecdotes, and practical advice, she shows you how to take the first step and motivates you to walk for life with an approach to fitness that puts care of the soul on equal footing with care of the body.
