Customer Reviews

Includes an audio CD by the author!

If you have never done any type of exercise or you have worked out daily, this little book is a "jewel for you". After following the audio CD instructions for 15 minutes you will feel your whole body awake and the blood moving...Every bit as good as a cup of coffee. I bought this book one month before I had bilateral knee replacements. At 65 years-old I have been blessed with good health except for bad knees. I used this little book to get my body going each day. Since I have never exercised in my life this author's clear instruction were so easy to follow. My many Physical Therapists all gave complete approval for the program. Enjoy!!!! A Morning Cup of Stretching (The Morning Cup series)

If Your Really Out of Shape, Start With This Book

After purchasing numerous exercise books, video tapes, balance balls, weights, etc., I found I was still too out of shape to do even so-called beginning exercise routines. I finally hit upon this book and discovered a program which I could "start with". The pictures and written explanations are clear and easy to understand; and the stretches are quite executable. You quickly learn that even holding your arms over your head with your hands clasped for 30-seconds "hurts" when you first start. And, moves such as bending to the side again with your arms raised, which sounds like a piece of cake, can cause huffing and puffing. The "15-minute routine" took me 53 minutes the first day but was down to 30 minutes by the end of the first week. I was both sitting and standing straighter within a few days. If you have been discouraged with other exercise programs or are really tight and inflexible, give this stretching program a try. PS: I am 67 years old!
