Book Review: Perfect for Anyone and Everyone
Summary: 5 Stars
As someone who spends too much time sitting in front of a computer, I should know something about how to relieve the tension and stiffness that sets in. After all, my wife wrote the book. I thought I knew how to work out the stiff shoulders and sore back that I get from being hunched over the mouse and keyboard. Yeah, I know, I have bad work habits. Check out chapter 7, these are some of my favorite stretches. Pretzel on page 97 is something I do at my desk throughout the day.
You may be able to sympathize with the discomfort that started to set in while I was illustrating this book. A lot of extra hours at the computer were beginning to make me really uncomfortable, starting at the lower, left of my back and moving down the left leg. You may know what I'm talking about. Sciatica. Luckily, I was just starting the drawings for chapter 8 and "Dealing With Sciatica". Just in time, otherwise I don't know how I would have kept on schedule.
Now that I'm done with the illustrations do I've still use what I learned? I sure do. This book is full of easy to understand, easy to do, practical advice. Give it a try for yourself and let us know how it works for you.
