Better book than it looks!

When searching for books on how to increase oxygen intake, I came across this one. At first glance I thought it was not challenging enough, but was pleased and surprised to see how much it woke me up; something that normally takes two cups of coffee and running a few miles:) Best of all, you can start these exercises while still in bed (or you can adapt them to your normal routine). Either way it offers an invigorating workout, though not a strenuous one. Definitely a worthwhile addition to your exercise library/routine and a good way to start your day. Thank you Dr. Wexler:)

Heartily Happy!

I'm enjoying the messages in this book...the stretching and flexing exercises are wonderful! I combine them with my daily 3-mile NordicTrack workout and feel that I'm actually being a friend to my heart now! (I lost a brother a year ago to a heart attack "out of no where", so I'm glad to work on the heart of my matter!) The reason behind each exercise is explained and then the proper way to do each one is illustrated! Certainly, the "user friendly" aspect of the book caught my interest right away! While I'm very active and healthy, the exercises in this book seem to enhance my feelings of fitness! My heartfelt appreciation, Dr. Wexler!

"Heart Friendly" is also Reader Friendly

Who needs another exercise book? Well, it turned out I did. Dr. Wexler explains how exercise affects specific body functions and from this flows his emphasis on correct breathing when exercising. His recommendations differ from those given by various fitness instructors; since Dr. Wexler is a distinguished cardiologist I am now following his recommendations. This slim volume is user friendly in that the 29 exercises are clearly illustrated and the text is well organized and tightly written.
