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.
Summary of Get Fit While You Sit: Easy Workouts for the Young at Heart
Get Fit While You Sit is aimed at anyone who wants to get or stay
in shape. In keeping with the trend toward low-impact exercise, this total body workout can be done right from a chair, anywhere -- at home, work, or while sitting in traffic. This is a perfect program for always-busy Baby Boomers, frequent travelers, the young at heart (who may not be so young in body), and the increasing number of people with special conditions, for whom traditional high-impact exercise may not be appropriate.
