5.0 out of 5 stars This Works!, November 23, 2000

This review is from: Posture, get it straight! (Paperback)

After using the exercises in this book for about a week, I noticed that I no longer felt nagging upper back tension. Then, inspired, I purchased Janice Novak's video (rubber bands come with it), and started using it about five times a week. The video has the same information, but it's easier for me to follow along with a video rather than flip through pages. The neat thing is that several friends have asked me, "Have you lost weight?" I haven't, but I look thinner and feel terrific. I've had rounded shoulders for 56 years, but my posture has improved enormously. This book should be a bestseller.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely useful information., April 16, 1999

This review is from: Posture, get it straight! (Paperback)

This book is filled with excellent information. The one minute to better posture produced very quick results. When I changed my workstation as specified in this book, my neck stopped hurting. The tips for adjusting car seat, a life saver. I thought my poor posture was hopeless but the info and exercises in this book really delivered. The best $12 bucks I've ever spent. I highly recommend this book. I saw the author on the Oprah Winfrey show and was very impressed.

5.0 out of 5 stars I had immediate results!, April 28, 1999

This review is from: Posture, get it straight! (Paperback)

Chronic back pain has kept me from getting a good night's sleep. I didn't know what to do about it until I read Janice Novak's book. After my first time trying the exercies I felt my back getting stronger. I like doing the exercises because I always feel better afterwards. "Posture, Get It Straight" is well-writen and the exercises are easy to follow. I recommend it to anyone who has back pain.
