To my mother and father, Roxy and Richard, for being an unfaltering,
two-person cheerleading squad through all the ups and downs,
and for always believing I'd make the right choices.
And to Michael, for daring to take that leap into the future,
and for showing me the true depth of a trusting, honest,
and loving relationship.

Preface
I took the back door into walking, not unlike other devout walkers you will meet.
Motivation to stay fit with less impact is what attracted me initially. In my teens and through college, I was a dance maniac, gravitating to studios to take jazz and modern several times a week. That led to taking aerobics after college graduation. Knowing I was headed to Europe for school, however, I needed a convenient and accessible form of fitness. Aerobics studios were going to be rare. So I "taught" myself to run. As the books advise, I started with 10 minutes, slowly increasing to about 30 to 40 minutes after a few months. Never did I know how fast I ran. I just ran.
About 5 years later, after my return to the United States, my knees started to speak to mejust little twingesand I quit frequent runs, turning primarily to health clubs and teaching aerobics for fitness. I'd heard about walking and its great fitness benefits, so I tried it. Although it felt good, I just couldn't reach the rates of sweat and breathing that I knew and loved from other workoutsuntil I read about race walking and tried the technique. I studied pictures in magazines and experimented with the style along the beaches in Monterey, California. I was immediately sold on fast walking, devoted myself to learning more, and began trying to convince other fitness professionals, such as aerobics teachers and personal trainers, and their students that they too could get a workout from a walk.
