Step It Out with SoleMates eBook

The 30 Day Walk Away From Stress Plan

Lewis Carroll in Through the Looking Glass reflected the problems of many of us in contemporary society. The pace and stress of life is more frenetic than ever before, with people not spending enough time reflecting on their lifestyle – exercise, eating the right foods, balancing home and work, and looking after their own and their family’s health and well-being. ‘Stress’ is now as much a part of our modern vocabulary as laptops, mobile phones, iPads, email and fast food.

In this eBook, SoleMates – The 30-Day Walk Away from Stress Plan, Maggie Humphreys and Les Snowdon help you to think through your day-to-day lifestyle by suggesting ways to walk more often and also join with others to take control of your life and turn stress into motivation and inspiration.

Walking Books

Step It Out

The Walking and Weight-loss Workout for Health, Fitness and Vitality

“Maggie Humphreys has written a neat little book showing how to regain lost energy and lose weight using one of the simplest activities of all – walking. This book is a must read.”
- Health & Fitness Magazine

“Step It Out is a brilliant 30-day walking and weight loss plan (including gorgeous recipes) that’s totally inspiring.”
- Woman & Home

The Rhythm for Life

Stress is the disease of the modern age. It’s an early warning signal, telling us that we are not in control of our lives and that we need to take action.

The Institute of Management in Britain estimates that between 50 and 60 million working days are lost each year through stress, with a cost to the UK of about £7 billion. That’s a massive 500 per cent increase since the 1950s. And in the USA, job-related stress alone is estimated to cost in excess of $200 billion each year.

Bestselling author of The Walking Diet, Les Snowdon revolutionised fitness by recognising walking as the safest, most effective form of aerobic exercise that could be enjoyed by people of all ages. In his latest book, The Rhythm for Life – Seven Highly Effective Ways to Walk Away from Stress, Les tackles the problem of stress and shows us how to take control of our lives, re-energise, and turn stress into motivation and inspiration. He has designed a personal stress-release programme that will help:

• Manage stress and take control of your life
• Step away from stress using the 30-day Stress-Release Plan
• Tone, stretch and relax using exercises and techniques to re-energise your body
• Plan a stress-free diet
• Organise your time better
• Learn to let go using meditation, mindfulness and visualisation
• Maintain a stress-free lifestyle

What the Press Says:

“Stress can deeply affect the way in which we conduct our lives. At times, tension can become so overwhelming we feel out of tune with ourselves and with the rhythms of life around us. The way through the stress impasse is to re-establish contact with the natural rhythms of our bodies. Les Snowdon in his latest book shows you how regular walking can be the natural path to a healthy and stress-free life.” – Daily Telegraph
