What a Wonderful Book !!!!

I read it on the plane back and forth from DC last week. I found myself laughing out loud so much the guy in the next seat was staring at me. I could totally relate to some ofthe scenarios, I just can't wait for the day I can afford to give up the rat race for the gym:)I have also told my friends that this is a must read book.

Forty-Fitters

This book definitely was right on the money. Finally a book which describes some of all the stuff we go through before/during/after our 40's and in a funny way. This book lightened up my day. After reading the book I told myself, Hey there are more women out there like me!

A man's view

As a man reading this book I enjoyed the opportunity to understand what it is that goes through the minds of women. At first it felt voyeuristic, but in the end I felt like I'd joined the club. The women we get to know are regulars at their local health club. This is a setting that really works. Like many American's I am an irregular visitor to my local gym. It's a place that brings together a wide range of interesting people, both fit and fat. In reality we see our fellow club members all the time, but often don't get to know them. The Forty Fitters is a passport to being part of the "in crowd", a group of women dealing with life in the way we all do, mixing the trivial, with the personal, with the profoundly philosophical. Bee Pedersen is intimate and funny in the way she deals with many of the themes that occupy our minds, from [interpersonal relations], self-image, friendship, to getting on with the neighbors. I emerged from reading this with the same feelings that you get after a really good conversation with some close friends: energized, stimulated with a feeling of fellowship ... even though I wasn't supposed to be there.

Awesome

This is an awesome book - it grows as you easely and wonderfully walk your way through it - the characters are great, if you are a woman I bet you will find yourself represented many times in this book.It is a book that smiles to life - and you will be a happier person after you have completed this little master piece.

A humorous approach to being a mature woman

The Forty-Fitters is a humorous book, written in a honest and positive way showing you that life does not end after the thirties. You laugh and cry with the eight wonderful woman, sharing their life through their daily visits in a fitness center. It makes you think and reconsider in a humorous way what you want to do with your life.
