The Lazy Person's Guide to Exercise: Over 40 Toning Flexercises to Do from Your Bed, Couch or While You Wait

For anyone who is sick of the sound of Joe Wicks, hates sweating or wants to do something to ensure they can pick up a dropped pen at the age of 70, this is the book for you.

A lot of people may have forced themselves to exercise during lockdown, but did they really enjoy it? And, more importantly, are they still doing it now?

According to Pinterest, low impact is the new high intensity. And the joy of stretching – or flexercise – is that anyone can do it, any time and any place. That means you can work on your fitness as you lie in bed listening to your favorite podcast or on the couch with Netflix for company. You may not sweat, but you will feel the benefits as your muscles tone and tighten.

There's even a bit of science behind to prove it really works, which Susan touches on in the book. Each chapter will give a beginner's top-to-toe stretch workout adapted for the location. Susan will describe the target muscles to be stretched and give a detailed 'How To' stretch them in a fun but still safe way to override the stretch resistance of the muscle spindles and gain more strength and flexibility.

Accessible and humorous but grounded in science, this little exercise book provides workouts using the proven benefits of stretching, including strength, flexibility and de-stressing.

Susan is a self-help writer who specialises in shining a light on those topics that can help people overcome their challenges to live their best lives. She does not shy away from the thornier difficulties we may face as we navigate through life, and in this inspirational little book reveals how ― by celebrating Hope in all parts of your life ― you will find it easier to meet those challenges and to believe, before long, that the best really is yet to come. She has studied yoga in both India and the UK.
