Charlene Torkelson (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 10, 1999

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars No more excuses, March 30, 2000

This review is from: Get Fit While You Sit: Easy Workouts for the Young at Heart (Paperback)

An excellent book for anyone, regardless of age. The exercises are well thought out and clearly illustrated. Anyone can do them, and they work! People can't make excuses for not exercising any more. The exercises seem especially good for people who are older or for those who are sitting for a good part of their day. I can't believe the author, who is pictured doing the exercises is almost 50! She looks much younger, so I would guess that her routine works.

Get fit watching the TV news. Get fit on rainy days when you can't get out for your walk. Get fit sitting at a computer. (I'm going to do the "sitting at computer" exercises as soon as I finish writing this.) I borrowed the book from the library, and I am buying it.

This review is from: Get Fit While You Sit: Easy Workouts for the Young at Heart (Paperback)

I am a parent of a 2 year old and needless to say I don't have alot of extra time to go to the gym for a work-out. This book allows me to exercise at a time and pace that fits into my daily routine. As most people I feel better when I get some exercise and this book has given me some great ideas on how to do just that. I borrowed this book to my sister who sits alot at her job and she also has seen some benefits, I just wish she'd buy her own copy so I can have my book back!
