Those few minutes can add up to huge rewards, including a stronger heart and bones, higher energy levels, better weight control, and more.

I very much enjoyed reading this blue-collar self-help guide to fitness on a budget. Though parts are a little dated--suggestions for video and audio tapes--the meat of the text is timeless. I found that I already do many of the suggested exercises, but did not count them as fitness regimens. I also found some new ideas that hadn't occurred to me before. I would recommend this guide to everyone--from the couch-potato to the elite triathlon jock :o)

Enjoyed reading this book. All we have to do is mix some kind of activity in whatever we do. splitting 1/2 hour of activity per day into three 10 min activity like walking, jogging, stair climbing will help people with busy schedules.
