5.0 out of 5 stars "I Hate To Exercise Book" by Charlotte Hayes, August 24, 2001

By	Ward A. Williamson (Barrie, ON Canada) - See all my reviews

Charlotte Hayes presents the virtues and importance of exercise in a very thorough yet simplified format. The primary theme she emphasizes is to "stay active". Forget the quick fix solution and make a commitment to a long term lifestyle change. Lifestyle changes are paramount to staying fit, not strenuous exertion. She offers practical suggestions for incorporating exercise into day to day activities. Set achievable goals and build on them. The basic principals of exercise are the solution to most health problems. An extremely well written book.

I thought I would take a moment to compliment Charlotte Hayes on her book. This book is well written, organized, easy to read and easy to comprehend. More importantly, this book refocused my attention on my well-being. Sticking to a regimen has made me feel better both physically and emotionally. Having more energy makes life brighter.

Thanks to Charlotte for selflessly taking the time to write the book for my betterment. I will definitely recommend this book to my local Diabetes Society.
