Integrated Exercise: How Everyday Activity Will Get You Fit

Description

If you want to lose weight, be healthy and live longer, forget the gym. Ordinary activity - gardening, washing up, and even fidgeting - can be more effective than hard exercise. Our ancestors kept fit by integrating exercise into daily life, but modern lifestyles have turned us into couch and desk potatoes. Peta Bee shows how we can redress that balance, with chapters on how to increase activity levels on the move, in the office, at home and when shopping; and there are plenty of suggestions for busy parents and children. With body and mind benefits for each activity, and advice on tailoring your exercise to improve muscle tone and flexibility, this book is a must for those who are short on time but keen on fitness.
