From Building Buzz author, Marisa D'Vari, "Fun & Useful"

Joan Price has captured the essence of how to become sleek, trim, and fit in this delightful non-fiction book informative, fun and quirky enough to serve as both a self-help book and whimsical gift item. Joan's core message of going out of one's way to walk stairs, park further, and put more energy into the simple movements of every day life will definately yield positive fitness results when internalized and practiced.

Excellent book - ingenious, lively, and practical!

If you know you should exercise, but can't set aside half an hour for a workout, this book will get you moving - in two- or three-minute bursts. At the end of the day, you will have burned extra calories and given your body all the other benefits of a standard workout. I recommend it to anyone who is currently sedentary - and also to those who exercise but would like to do a little more.The trick, as Joan Price explains, is to tuck extra activity into your day. She misses no opportunity to set you in motion. Taking a shower? Don't just stand there and drip - scrub the walls; do some stretches; work some muscles (believe it or not, your washcloth can turn into exercise equipment). The book is filled with ingenious exercise ideas, starting with morning wake-up and continuing through the day. She includes workouts for auto trips and hotel stays; suggestions for getting a little action while you're on the phone; ideas for stroller-pushing parents - and much more. Instructions are clear; the writing is lively, friendly, and encouraging. An excellent book!Sarah Wernickco-author of Quick Fit: The Complete 15-Minute No-Sweat Workout and Strong Women Stay Young

This book is EXACTLY what I needed to get in shape.

What a wonderful idea! So many good suggestions that I am able to use daily with virtually no cost in dollars or time. Had I known before that getting in shape could be so easy I could have saved years of frustration. I like Joan's advice so much that I am ordering books for all my customers (I am a business owner). Highly Recommended. :-)

Joan Price Does it Again

I have all of Joan's books, because she actually makes exercise fun, but this may be my favorite. I kept thinking I was too busy to exercise and have instead found that I can add together exercise "minutes" to make up a great fitness program. Who knew I'd be exercising in the shower with my wash cloth???? P.S. This book is my new favorite gift item. I bought it as a birthday gift and for both mothers and fathers day gifts, and everyone loves it.

A little humor along with exercise tips

I just got this book yesterday and I am really enjoying it. I didn't expect it to be so funny! (I always like a bit of humor along with my exercises.) I am an aerobics instructor so I read a lot of exercise books. I can already tell this is going to be one of my favorites.I think I'll just go and "floss" my thighs now...
