Loved this book. It came into my life with perfect timing - right when I'm getting more and more worried about the huge amount of time I spend sitting for my job and leisure activities. With more studies coming out all the time about how sitting for extended periods of time is no good for you, no matter if you get a single good workout in during the day, it's nice to have some ideas of things I can do to break up the sitting. Some of the exercises are extremely simple, non-intimidating, and require no equipment. I just did one before I sat down here; it took 2 minutes, required no horrible, painful effort, and I'm still feeling the effects 15 minutes later; my muscles are still warmed up, and the blood is flowing. This is not just a beginner's book, though. Advanced exercisers will probably find plenty in here as well.

My favorite thing about the book was all the supplemental information surrounding the exercise expositions. All of it was smart, simple, scientifically-supported advice either on exercise (of course), diet, and mindset. I will be referring to this book for years to come, I hope. ( )
