Lazy Person's Guide to Exercise

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.

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 favourite 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.
