10,000 Steps a Day in L.A: 52 Walking Adventures

10,000 Steps a Day in L.A.: 52 Walking Adventures is for urban adventurers with a passion for healthy living who are also hungry to explore L.A.'s hidden, unsung, and sometimes quirky side. This unique guidebook provides everything readers need to venture out and tackle the city's 500 square miles. The book is based on a concept that first took hold in Japan--that if people walked 10,000 steps each day, they would burn 20 percent of their caloric intake through that activity alone. Now an ingrained part of the American lifestyle, the 10,000 steps phenomenon is taking the country by storm; it is.
