Get Fit in Bed: Tone Your Body & Calm Your Mind from the Comfort of Your Bed

by Genie Tartell, Ted Kavanau

As featured on the "TODAY Show."

Here s the fitness solution you ve been waiting for: a workout designed to build strength, endurance and flexibility in a gentle way right from your own bed. The series of forty-two exercises draw upon yoga, Pilates, karate, and stretching. The routines are easy to follow and grouped into three sections: exercises to be done lying on your back, sides, and stomach. Regular practice will tone muscles, increase strength and endurance, calm the mind, and, yes, even improve sleep. Each exercise is described in detail, fully-illustrated with step-by-step photographs, and accompanied by modifications for special conditions and limitations.Almost everyone can benefit from this simple program. In fact, research even shows physician-approved mild exercise can reduce patient hospital stays in the intensive care unit. (Of course as with any fitness program, you should always check with your doctor before undertaking a new exercise regime.)

Very useful. Clear and easy to follow.

OK. I'm not sure how fit you'll get doing these exercises. There are a series of about 45 exercises that combine calisthenics, isometrics, and yoga into a 45 minute-ish workout.

In bed.

That's the good part. Cause you do get a little tired after you're done.

And the good thing about these exercises is that you don't have to travel very far afterwards to take a nap.
