"I am a certified personal trainer and this book is a great buy! Not for the CrossFit crowd, but for all the rest of us that want to be healthy with simple real world exercises that can be done safely and enjoy it. I love the description and pictures. So easy to follow I can even hand the book to a client and let them see "you can do this". Fitness can be very intimidating, and this book solves that problem. GREAT EXERCISES that will be effective." — Customer Review
"This is a great book, the exercises are great, many of them are done on chairs if you cannot get on the floor, or better still get back up from the floor. I had joined the gym just about the same time this book arrived, so I went to the gym and rode the bike and walked the treadmill, I think I will quit the gym and do the exercises in this book." — Customer Review
"I purchased this for my 80 y/o mother who wanted to find a way to stay fit but doesn't have ability to do lots of strenuous activities. She found many of these exercises to be easy for her to do and is seeing results!" — Customer Review
"Simple to follow exercises that help strengthen the back, flatten the tummy, and increase flexibility. At 73 and with degenerative disc disease and osteoporosis, many of these exercises have worked for me in the sessions I have had with physical and occupational therapists in the past, and I trust that they will continue to help me get back on track and help with spinal support, flexibility, and back pain relief. Glad to have all these exercises in one place!" — Customer Review
