Here is the fitness solution you've been waiting for--a wonderful workout you can do right from your own bed. Anyone can benefit from this simple program, especially including seniors and people recovering from surgery or injury. 
 The series of forty-two exercises draw upon yoga, Pilates, karate, and stretching. The easy-to-do routine is grouped into three sections: exercises to be done lying on your back, sides, and stomach. Regular practice will tone muscles, increase strength and endurance, calm the mind and, yes, even improve sleep! Each exercise is described in detail, fully illustrated with a series of step-by-step photographs, and includes modifications for specific health and lifestyle conditions. 
 "For more than twenty years we have been telling athletes, "You're getting weaker or stronger, there's no in-between..." A simple but consistent program is the key. Now, Tartell and Kavanau have put it all together in a very simple, easy-to-follow, comprehensive approach to restoring and maintaining good health. From head to toes, this book offers the reader exercises for every joint intersection. I am especially thrilled to see that the extremities (feet, hands and cervical spine) are addressed, as these areas are usually forgotten in most exercise programs. This book is a much needed addition to getting and keeping fit. No excuses now!" --Jim Wharton, president of Wharton Performance, musculoskeletal therapist, and author of The Wharton Stretch Book, The Wharton Strength Book, The Wharton Cardio Book, and The Wharton Back Book 
 "Ted Kavanau's funny and plaintive introduction to this book alone is worth the price of the book. The "in-bed" exercises are simply presented with self-explanatory photos. The exercises themselves would seem to be good for reducing stress. New reports indicate that exercise before sleeping may actually help induce a calm and restful sleep. These exercises are ideally suited to that purpose." --Rochelle Medici, Ph.D., neurophysiologist in private practice in San Marino, CA 
 "Try this routine; it may give you startling results." --Harold Rubin, licensed psychologist in Massachusetts 
 "When I first heard of our attempt to reach the moon, I said, `Yeah, maybe we can do that.' When I heard of our attempt to get live pictures from Mars, I said, `Yeah, maybe we can do that.' When I saw a book entitled Get Fit in Bed, I said, `Get outta here!' And I got the third one wrong. Tartell and Kavanau have given us a valid and valuable road map to getting a great workout without even getting up. Joy will be felt. Health will be ours. Lives will be saved." --Barry Farber, nationally syndicated radio talk host on the Talk Radio Network 
 "This book is a good start for getting fit in a holistic way. It can lead one to the next step in the world of fitness safely." --Catherine Lloyd, coordinator of the Group Fitness Program at Marymount Manhattan College and a certified personal trainer
