Get Fit in Bed: Tone Your Body & Calm Your Mind from the Comfort of Your Bed by Genie Tartell and Ted Kavanau details a series of 42 exercises you can do right from your own bed. These exercises are low- or no-impact, but you’ll feel the results (and see them, too), and they can be used at night, in the morning, while watching TV, or even while on the phone.
The exercises draw upon yoga, Pilates, karate, and stretching and are grouped into three sections: those to be done on your back, on your sides, and on your stomach. Each exercise is described in detail, fully illustrated with a series of step-by-step color photos, and includes modifications for specific health and lifestyle conditions. This book offers the reader exercises for every joint intersection, even the extremities (feet, hands and cervical spine) are addressed—the areas are usually forgotten in most exercise programs. Studies show that exercising before bed can induce a calm and restful sleep, and these exercises are ideally suited to that use.
Get Fit in Bed is a clear, comprehensive guide to a unique workout that reduces stress, builds flexibility and muscle tone, and improves sleep, all from the comfort (and the convenience) of your own bed. Anyone can benefit from this simple program, but it is especially useful to seniors, those recovering from surgery or injury, those with joint problems, those with limited mobility, and other people unable to participate in a conventional exercise program—or just the many, many of us who can never find time for the gym.
