The No Sweat Exercise Plan
A Harvard Medical School Book

by Harvey B. Simon, M.D.



      This straightforward and interesting book was an easy read. With simple modifications and doing every day activities, the average person can get fit and healthy. It was great to learn that I don't have to spend hours on a treadmill to get fit, but that doing little things can have good benefits. If you don't always have time to head to the gym or work out for hours, this book has great information to get you motivated and in shape. The Cardiometablic Exercise (CME) Point System that is discussed in chapter four is important and the basis of this plan. The charts are useful and are where you can compare and assess the differences in doing "Recreational Activities", from Aerobics to Yoga and "Daily Activities", from Animal Care to Vacuuming. By using this information, you can customize a plan that will work for you.

The No Sweat Exercise Plan is a great resource to have if you are someone trying to get in shape, lose weight or maintain a healthy lifestyle. I found the twenty guidelines in chapter eleven to be extremely helpful when planning my meals. In this time of low-carb and no-fat diets, it is nice to see a book point out that eating healthy, is well, healthy.
