The Wide World of Walking Equipment

The word “walk” finds it’s origins in the Old English word “walken” which means to travel about and that’s exactly what The Wide World of Walking Equipment is all about. We will travel the walking community and explore all it’s manifestations. Topics will be wide ranging, but all designed to help you get the most from your walking experience. While the primary focus will be on walking equipment and gear, our intent is to cover a wide range of related subjects.   We will talk about the benefits of a walking program…Which of them are real and which are not?  What clothing is proper? What about walking sneakers?…what to buy and when to discard. Various walking approaches: Nordic, Power, Racing, Club, Recreational, and Fitness. We’ll include discussions about walking vacations, clubs and the community’s events around the country and around the world.

We will solicit walking equipment reviews from you. What you like and what you don’t. We will serve as a clearing house and bulletin board for local groups, programs and events. We’ll conduct reader surveys and provide links to helpful and informative sites. Our ultimate goal is to inform and promote. Inform both the novice and the experienced walker and promote the walking experience to everyone.

Whether you walk for personal fitness, to reduce stress or just to enjoy your neighborhood, by joining The Wide World of Walking Equipment community you will enrich your experience and enhance your results. So come and join me as we travel about this interesting and varied world.
