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, nonintimidating, and require no equipment, I just did one before I sat down here it tookminutes, required no horrible, painful effort, and I'm still feeling the effectsminutes 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, scientificallysupported advice either on exercise of course, diet, and mindset, I will be referring to this book for years to come, I hope, I won this book on first reads giveaway, Fit Quickies hasexercises that are easy to understand, Some of these exercises I have not seen before, they are new and updated, I especially enjoyed working with the physioball and the playground ball, The book starts off with your goals/results you might like, the workout time, and the equipment needed, There are photos to help with the positions showing you exactly how to do it, At the end there are examples of some of the common errors people make while doing these exercises, And now I have to work on those abs : Fit Quickies delivers exactly what it promises: fast targeted workouts that you can fit anywhere in your day.
Mostly using body weight, these are isolations pairing a strengthening exercise with a stretch, I found the illustration and quick explanation of each muscle group helpful, as well as recommendations to increase the challenge and impact of each exercise over time.
Good body shaping exercises for all, Usually, I skip anything that targets specific body areas for shaping, going more for the whole body fitness approach, However, Lani's layout of exercises combines whole body fitness with toning specific areas in a sensible, easy to follow format, Now, to just do the routines, . . LOL
Finished this a while ago, amp neglected updating, Just started her new book, The Plantbased Journey, amp am enjoying it, As part of my plan to readbooks this year I have been scooping books off my home shelf that are only partially read sometimes, if read at all and this is the case with "Fit Quickies".
Lani Muelrath has written an intelligent exercise book with an overarching 'healthy lifestyle' approach that includes a lovely, nonpreachy section on the plantstrong, whole foods diet that she herself adheres to and explanations about how we can overcome cravings and other saboteurs through exercise, meditation, and 'working' our willpower muscle.
But mostly this book hones in on an easy, quick, inexpensive, safe method of shaping up,
I appreciate the stepbystep breakdowns of each Fit Quickie there areof them that can be mixed and 'bundled' once you know what you want and how to do them, the photos of Lani herself in my age group, filling me with hope and inspiration doing the various exercises, wise counsel, tips on advancing with each particular exercise, Lani's own inspiring story, and lots of encouragement.
I'm particularly encouraged by the directions to those who have been on a "long vacation from working out" to do Fit Quickiefor a flat stomach until it is mastered and then to move along to the next, and so on.
It is my general style to jump in with both feet and try to amp up to the advanced level of whatever before I've actually figured out what I'm doing.
I feel like I have permission to take it slow and be kind in the process, I'm excited to know that even if it takes me several months, if I spend only a few minutes a week doing Fit QuickieI will eventually have a flat tummy again thanks to the girdling muscles I will build up.
It has been quite a while since I've read an 'fitness book' from cover to cover, I recommend that if you get this book you do the same for the optimal experience and learning, Now I'm off to walk my dog, part of my ongoing exercise to augment the Quick Fitties!
