5.0 out of 5 stars Physical Therapist using the book for ideas, December 14, 2002
By Frank Ippolito (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews
I am a home health Physical Therapist who deals with many "couch potatoes" This book gives great ideas for getting people with low motivation to begin moving. It also provides a way to progress the exercises. The explanations of body mechanics and anatomy have helped me with patients who may not understand more technical jargon.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you can sit on the sofa, you can get fit with this book!, November 4, 2002
By "kjohnson156" (Gering, NE USA) - See all my reviews
I am not even a TV addict, but I figured if someone can get fit during commercials I could certainly spend the same time using the same techniques from this book! For those of us who can't bear to think of a 20 minute walk or the drive to the YMCA, this book gives easy to maintain, achievable exercises. Well written, easy to understand and follow, and fun to boot!! This one is a winner!Here's to more commercials and less flab!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great gift idea for all your couch potato friends and family, December 2, 2002
By LH (Denver, CO United States) - See all my reviews
After a hard day's work it can be hard to think about going to the gym. This is an easy introduction to staying in shape without leaving your home. An easy read. Little or no equipment needs. Fun to read!
