4.0 out of 5 stars Read this if you travel for a living
I am on the road about 50% of the time as a sales person. It's hard to get enough exercise when you're stuck in a hotel room or meetings most of the time. Read this book -- you'll be surprised how easy it can be to get enough exercise or even lose weight while on the road.

- Do jumping jacks in your office if the floor is sturdy
- Ride a bike to work

This review is from: Too Busy to Exercise (Hardcover)
In 2011 I ordered a used copy of this book on Amazon, but what I received was the 1996 edition. Boy, was I disappointed. The author had tips like:

- Do jumping jacks in your office if the floor is sturdy
- Ride a bike to work
- Use the gym if your company has one

You don't need to be told this kind of stuff. The exercises you could actually do at your desk consisted of stretches and isometric exercises you've seen a hundred times elsewhere.

So unless this author had some sort of epiphany between the '96 and '00 editions, don't waste your time on this one.
