Body Electric fan from way back gives Thumbs Way Up

I have been exercising with Ms. Richard since the late 80's when I was 22. I have always enjoyed her way of motivating the viewer to do what is good for them and the focus she has on correct form. She gives helpful reminders throughout the show and this book delivers pretty much the same helpful advice and the humor that is her trademark. I have fallen off the wagon every now and then, but I always go back to the Body Electric philosophy and techniques because they work! If you are fortunate enough to have the show on your PBS station, tape it like I do and benefit from the effective exercises she comes up with any time you want it. This woman is a walking advertisement of what discipline will reward you with - grace and strength. Viva Margaret Richard!

Finally, a workout for REAL women!

Everybody that has followed Margaret Richard's PBS program, Body Electric, knows that Margaret knows how to "keep it real"! I have been working out to Body Electric for over 20 years and I recommend this book to EVERY woman! Margaret proves that age is just a number and that all of us, as women, can age with grace and strength, no "fancy" equipment or gym membership is needed!

A Great Book on Many Levels

As a healthcare professional, I appreciate all of the research that Margaret Richard did to present this book. What a wealth of information for everyone! Her approach to fitness and general "well-being" is based on sound scientific information. This book is for everyone- any age, and any level of fitness. Margaret carefully guides you through the theory and detailed explanation of each exercise.

You can give this book to those who are already conscious of the need to maintain a healthy lifestyle, and those that you want to encourage to do a bit more. Treat yourself to a copy and enjoy Margaret's knowledge and humor. Then, treat your family and friends. It is the perfect gift for all occasions- for everyone that you know!
