Here's the fitness solution you've been waiting for: a workout designed to build strength, endurance and flexibility in a gentle way - right from your own bed. The series of forty-two exercises draw upon yoga, Pilates, karate, and stretching. The routines are easy to follow and 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 step-by-step photographs, and accompanied by modifications for special conditions and limitations.Almost everyone can benefit from this simple program. In fact, research even shows physician-approved mild exercise can reduce patient hospital stays in the intensive care unit. (Of course as with any fitness program, you should always check with your doctor before undertaking a new exercise regime.)
