Do you know someone who really wants to be healthier, but feels overwhelmed by too many choices and doesn't know where to start?
How about letting them know they can begin lying on the couch watching their favorite TV show!
Yes, you heard me - lying on the couch is where this little gem starts out. Beginning with a few Pilates leg exercises, and gradually adding in a few more exercises over a 30 day time period gives you a solid beginning and builds lean muscle in your legs! How cool is that?!
A friend of mine who is in great shape bought a copy for herself simply because she sits a lot at her computer and wants a few tips that she can use to "fit" more fitness into her daily routine.
Today is the re-launch of my book "Get Off the Couch, Potato!" and several hundred of my friends have generously offered bonuses for anyone purchasing the book, so pick up a copy today for the couch potato in your life and enjoy fabulous free recordings, books, reports and more from Crystal Andrus, Dr. Carolyn Dean and many other leaders in the fields of self help, health, and social media!

Greetings!
I am very excited!
Today I'm re-launching my first book in the Couch Potato series, "Get Off the Couch, Potato!"
Here's the book trailer, and at the bottom on the left of this page is a fun video of my lovable Couch Potato, strutting his stuff :)
 | Get Off the Couch, Potato! |
Some of you may remember this book from it's original release in the summer of 2009. It has sold fairly well since then, but with this launch, I am hoping to garner that #1 spot on Amazon. As I write this, the Kindle version is #11 and the print is at #13 on Amazon's bestseller list.
After the success of "STOP Back Pain", last June, I decided it was time to dust this one off the shelf and get it out into the hands of more people.
This little book is a fun way to start a fitness program, or get back in shape after the holidays - perfect timing!
And I am working on the second book in the series now, which I plan to release just in time for bathing suit season this year. More of that lovable Couch Potato showing us how to "fit" fitness into our daily routines!
In honor of the launch this week, I'm including some exercises that fit easily into your day, as well as more information on the book and some jokes about book editing/writing, etc.
Best of Health,
Kathi

More Tips For Fitting Fitnes Into Your Life
|
- Start your day off right with a few simple stretches before you get out of bed! While you're still lying down, stretch your arms up and over your head, then raise your knees up, feet flat on the bed and gently drop your knees to the left for a breath or two, then slowly back to center, and repeat to the right. These gentle stretches will help wake up your body and take away some of the stiffness you may feel from sleeping all night.
- When you're ready to get out of bed, roll over on your stomach, place your palms face down on the bed under your shoulders and press yourself up into a knee push-up position. Then sit on the edge of the bed and get up feeling energized!
- While you are brushing your teeth, march in place. Really! Bring your knees as high up toward your chest as you can. This will really get your blood pumping! Get into the habit of doing this every time you brush your teeth and you'll be adding an extra 5 minutes of aerobics every day with very little effort!
- When you're lying down on the couch at night watching Dancing With The Stars, lie on your side like I am in the above video and complete those simple leg lifts. They'll make a big difference in as little as a few weeks and, "how easy is that!"
- Lunges are also a great exercise for building lean muscle; which burns twelve times more calories than fat. You can practice lunging around your house when you walk from room to room - instead of lounging around :) You can also hang onto a kitchen chair or counter top while you are stirring soup or waiting for the pot to boil and do a few lunges with one leg, then repeat with the other.
These and many other tips for working out all day long without straining or taking time away from family and work are in the book, so pick up a copy!
Share the information with your friends and family and they will thank you for helping them achieve their fitness goals too!

Tuesday's Humor |
| In honor of my book launch, I thought you'd appreciate a little author/publisher humor...
from Leon Ogroske, WRITERS' Journal, www.writersjournal.com
Q: How many copy editors does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A: I can't tell whether you mean "change a light bulb" or "have sex in a light bulb." Can we reword it to remove the ambiguity?
Q: How many editors does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A: Only one. But first they have to rewire the entire building.
Q: How many managing editors does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A: You were supposed to have changed that light bulb last week!
Q: How many art directors does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A: Does it HAVE to be a light bulb?
Q: How many marketing directors does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A: It isn't too late to make this neon instead, is it?
Q: How many proofreaders does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A: Proofreaders aren't supposed to change light bulbs. They should just query them.
Q: How many writers does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A: But why do we have to CHANGE it?
Q: How many publishers does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A: Three. One to screw it in, and two to hold down the author.
Q: How many booksellers does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A: Only one, and they'll be glad to do it too, except no one shipped them any. |
