Great section with Chair Exercises

This book has many great parts it is hard to name them all. The best part is the section that shows how you can exercise in a chair. This is great to do to the TV, and if you have problems with your feet. It has some weight resistance as well as stretching exercise. Another great feature are the hints to get more exercise doing the things you normally do throughout the day. Highly recommend.

Charlotte Hayes presents the virtues and importance of exercise in a very thorough yet simplified format. The primary theme she emphasizes is to "stay active". Forget the quick fix solution and make a commitment to a long term lifestyle change. Lifestyle changes are paramount to staying fit, not strenuous exertion. She offers practical suggestions for incorporating exercise into day to day activities. Set achievable goals and build on them. The basic principals of exercise are the solution to most health problems. An extremely well written book.

Just what I needed !!

I have really enjoyed following the advice given in this very common-sense and well written book. The author's down to earth approach encouraged me to follow her guidance, and I have now adopted many of her suggestions into my daily life. I feel my circulation is improving each week! Thank you Ms. Hayes, you have really motivated me !!

Easy ways to get that good feeling from exercise

This book was laying on the reading table at my Dr.'s office waiting room. After scanning it, I ordered my own copy. The book points out so many really simple ways to increase the amount of excercise I can get on a daily basis-----in the course of routine activities. And I notice the difference in my overall feeling of wellbeing, and increased stability in my blood test numbers.Robert Parker Atlanta, GA

Even a physician can benefit from this book.

As both a physician and a diabetic, I found this book offers reminders of basic nutrition principles(often forgotten...even by doctors) and many clever ways to incorporate more valuable exercise into my daily life. It's a "neat" little book.John J. Bodine, M.D. Hampton Bay, NY
