Book Reviews of Get Fit While You Sit: Easy Workouts for the Young at Heart
Book Review: Excellent help
Summary: 5 Stars
Many people have injuries, arthritis, age-related conditions , are way out of shape etc etc that make it harder to exercise.
This book makes it easy.
It combines stretching w/ minor strength training using small hand weights
It has a quick at the office/computer workout as well
Depending on the circumstances one could do the workout and watch TV (like my elderly mom)
I find it very helpful especially for those who are weaker, elderly, out of shape or have a balance problem
etc but an average person can find this both helpful and fun and EASY to do as well.
I recommend this book/program. It is exactly what it says and it is a routine I think almost anyone can/will follow
even those who despise working out.
