techniques in Walk Like an Athlete, I am now an energetic, "younger",
competitive 71 year old athlete." Walter Hawrys
"Walk Like an Athlete's step by step diagrams, make it easy to
incorporate the author's walking techniques, stretches, and exercises into
an athletic walking program, even for people who are just starting to

of the Walkers Club of America, and coach to Olympians.
