Too often people cite time and money as reasons they can't get fit. Not anymore! This book shows the general public how you can get a great workout without needing expensive equipment, a gym membership, or time away from your family. The exercises are dynamic and easy to fit into any lifestyle. It follows the idea that to achieve and maintain a healthy lifestyle, you must add activity into your day. What better way to do it than with your kids; teaching them about fitness along the way. Julie Eastland, BS, DPTBS in Exercise ScienceDoctorate in Physical TherapyTeacher of Just for Kids - a weight management class for children I have had a chance to read your book and found it very interesting. You have a lot of insight into the "medical" aspects of the weight loss and exercise recommendations---I'm impressed! Your recommendations for charting and goal setting are excellent. Also, I think it is very important for people to understand about weight loss plateaus and you did address that very well. The emphasis on "life-style changes" is right-on. Also, I like the urge to be patient which is very important. The pictures are very helpful to the explanation of each routine. David E. Jenny, M. D.
