About this item
No time for the gym? Never worked out and don't know where to begin? Out of Shape? Die Hard Couch Potato? Just so tired at the end of the day that working out is the LAST thing you want to do? Injured or disheartened by hardcore workouts? Kama Linden shows safe and effective exercises for various fitness levels from absolute beginner to advanced, all that can be done while watching TV. You can use the TV as a timer, a distraction... Absolute beginners can do many of the exercises seated, standing with assistance, or lying down. Even things like your coffee table can be a prop for stretching. More advanced exercisers will learn new ideas such as working out using a foam roller to challenge your core, as well as remind you of neutral spine. Exercises can be done alone, in pairs, in groups.

The exercises range from absolute beginner to advanced, and there is a takeaway for exercisers of all levels.
