Product Description

Getting today’s high-tech, computer savvy kids to exercise isn’t easy—but this kit will do the trick! That’s because it includes a cool gadget and the activities seem just like games. And to kids, that spells FUN.
Walk the Walk is jam-packed with creative and entertaining ways to use the child-friendly pedometer that comes attached to the colorful book. See how many steps you take walking the dog—or figure out how many it would take to walk across the ocean if you could. Or give your favorite sport a cool twist by bringing the pedometer into play: first calculate the average number of paces from home plate to first base in baseball or softball. Any runner who can’t reach the base in that number of paces (or less) is out, no matter what. And there’s plenty of other great stuff to do inside, too.
New pedometer-philes will learn how to make the most of this handy gadget, from online pedometer challenges to walk-racing mom and dad.

A Great Way to Get Kids Excited About Exercise!5
My son LOVES this book! Everyday when he comes home from school he is so excited to tell me how many miles he's walked. He also loves the fun activities in the book, like competing with his friends and siblings to see who can walk the most in one minute.

I recommend this book to all - it's a great way to get kids excited about exercise!

very motivating for lazy kids!4
I bought this for my five year old, hoping it would motivate her to walk more. Boy did it ever! She loved the games in the book, and she loved counting her strides. It made a HUGE difference in her attitude towards exercise. Unfortunately the pedometer broke but Amazon was very good about taking it back. I subsequently bought an Omron digital pedometer. However, for the price you can't beat this book with the companion pedometer - you can always upgrade later. I give the author a lot of credit for appealing to this age group.

Turn exercise into fun and learning5
Provides a simple but enjoyable way for parents and children to share exercise and learning.

Addition of ped- o- meter is genius
