Angela Lansbury's Positive Moves: My Personal Plan for Fitness and Well-Being [Hardcover]

Angela Lansbury (Author), Mimi Avins (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

From her film debut in Gaslight to her current hit TV series Murder, She Wrote, Lansbury has appealed to audiences because of her energy and vitality. She brings these qualities to this book as she describes her path to well-being. In a down-to-earth, straightforward style, Lansbury emphasizes seeking a realistic level of comfort and activity to enhance physical and psychological fitness. What separates this from other celebrity diet/exercise books is Lansbury's optimistic yet commonsense approach and her acceptance of herself. The book is divided into sections, including Diet, Recipes, Exercises, and Advice, with many personal anecdotes. It should have wide appeal. Doubleday Book Club and Literary Guild alternate selections.

There are many great tips in this book, but the best part (for me) was the series of morning stretching exercises that take only a few minutes and really get the kinks out. Lansbury includes info on exercise, diet, mental and emotional health, and general wellness.

Angela Lansbury's approach to aging and keeping fit is very practicle. The excercises she suggests to keep ones body flexible are doable. Eating healthy is a way of life that is sensible. Her attitude is catching. One is able to adjust her plan to ones life. I highly recommend this book.
