A sample from the reviews:
This book is magically useful
The genius of this book is, as I pick it up to read it, I immediately feel the urge to do something healthy, usually exercise on the spot. It is as if the book is encoded with a magic formula that makes you more sportive and it has a unique format that mixes story, science and handbook sport tips
Got Me Up and Moving!
A relaxing and yet inspiring book. I tripled my physical activity in the time it took to read it. The author provides solid scientific explanations for the long-term benefits of moderate physical activity.
Never too late, and never too early.
I am probably not the target audience of this book as I am in mid-thirties, but I am glad that I read it in the beginning of a year, and shared what I learned from this book with my parents, who are definitely the target audience of the book.
