“Excellent book – ingenious, lively, and practical! If you know you should exercise, but can’t set aside half an hour for a workout, this book will get you moving – in two- or three-minute bursts. At the end of the day, you will have burned extra calories and given your body all the other benefits of a standard workout. I recommend it to anyone who is currently sedentary – and also to those who exercise but would like to do a little more. The trick, as Joan Price explains, is to tuck extra activity into your day. She misses no opportunity to set you in motion. Taking a shower? Don’t just stand there and drip – scrub the walls; do some stretches; work some muscles (believe it or not, your washcloth can turn into exercise equipment). The book is filled with ingenious exercise ideas, starting with morning wake-up and continuing through the day. She includes workouts for auto trips and hotel stays; suggestions for getting a little action while you’re on the phone; ideas for stroller-pushing parents – and much more. Instructions are clear; the writing is lively, friendly, and encouraging. An excellent book!“
