The Walking Book Club

Our Sneaker Rating System evaluates audiobooks based on three key factors:

1. Motivation to Move – Does the story make you want to keep going?
2. Narration Quality – Is the audiobook so engaging that you lose track of time?
3. Overall Experience – How does the story, narration, and pacing come together to create an immersive listening experience?

The better a book scores in these areas, the more sneakers it earns!

There are plenty of ways to be part of The Walking Book Club® community!

As a National Board-Certified Health Coach, I know that movement is one of the most powerful tools for well-being.

Pairing great audiobooks with movement makes it easier to build healthy habits that last. If you’re looking for more ways to thrive—beyond just walking—I invite you to explore my coaching services.

Any activity counts - chores, gardening, cooking, etc. Non-Exercise Active Thermogenesis or NEAT energy is a significant contributor to overall health.

Try listening while doing daily life activities, like chores around the house.

One of my favorite non-exercise activities is prepping fruits, veggies, and healthy meals. The Walking Book Club can make repetitive tasks like laundry more enjoyable.

Why does this happen?
Email Service Providers (ESPs) sometimes block email from an entire server, IP address, or ISP (Internet Service Provider) to protect you from unwanted or malicious email such as phishing, scams and spam. From time to time they get a false negative, which happens when they mistake email that you want for email that you don’t want.
