Wonders of America: Three Scenic DVDs for treadmill walking

1. America’s Most Scenic Drives

The first scenic DVD package is a 4 Disc Scenic Drives Collection, which is quite the opposite of a scenic walking DVD. However, it will take you on a journey and keep you walking while enjoying the beauty of various landscapes and sceneries.

In Disc 1 you will travel from Maine to Key West. Cruise down the most scenic routes of the Eastern Seaboard or driving along Maine’s rocky coast. Other highlights include Acadia National Park, the charming Nantucket and Cape Cod. You will also have the chance to appreciate the dramatic motion of the mighty Niagara Falls or step into a simpler life in Pennsylvania’s Amish Country. There is much more to explore: Shenandoah Valley, lush landscapes, diverse wildlife, the charm of Chincoteague Island, and the vast beauty of the Blue Ridge and Smoky Mountains. Relax and finish your road adventure at the sunny beaches and blue lapping waves in the Florida Keys. Read the rest of this entry →

A young coconut in the fridge will pay off

When I recently returned from a running session at my domestic parklands I was looking forward to kill a young coconut to slake my thirst. It was not only refreshing and had a superb taste, I also felt nourished from its white flesh. Hence, as they are very suitable to help restoring energy levels after brisk walking workouts, I thought to teach myself and share some of its nutritional values at Walking DVD and Books.

Young coconuts are also called tender coconuts and will be harvested before they are fully mature, literally when the coconut is still green. Read the rest of this entry →

Walking: Can you visualize the street you live in?

Sure, the question might be a little odd. But, try to picture your nearby surroundings. I periodically fail to picture specific details of houses, objects, stores or public places in my home suburb. Sometimes I discover a detail or even stand in front of a house and ask myself whether these objects had been there before or not. Of course they were, so I started to concentrate on single details. As a result I discovered a world full of micro environments and finally could browse my suburb with my eyes closed. Here are 5 topics to explore in detail while walking to the office, supermarket, a friend’s place or any other place. Tip: It will be a more intensive experience when focusing on a single topic.

Benefits of Walking: The variety of walking perspectives

Let’s walk! More and more people rediscover the advantages of walking. But, walking is far more than just a natural and physical activity to get from one place to another. Walking can be a starting point – primarily a virtual one – to interlink different parts of our everyday life.

It is good to see many people already walk to work leaving their cars in the parking slots. Sounds like an easy task for those living in populous inner-city suburbs; however, wide spread urban areas usually don’t offer this opportunity. Luckily, that doesn’t matter. Read the rest of this entry →
