What I found lacking was positive exercises / activities for those of us who find working out difficult. I was looking for something NEW to entice me. Rather the book ended with a typical menu plan & workout routine. Do you need a "no more lame excuses" smackdown to get started on the journey to better health and all around fit-tastic-ness? Do you like stats and quotes that rouse you? You will then respond to the opening chapter-ettes that are designed to get you out of your snuggie and into the gym or outdoors.
I thought the book would be "in your face" and it is, but not in a blaming, name-calling way. More in a sincerely concerned, "Save your own life and money" kind of way.
Bottom line as the three authors, each an expert in his/ her field explain -the consequences of staying sedentary suck more than getting off the lazy-boy and into the gym or park or trail.
Quick, easy, motivating read that has a lot of personality.
If you want to see a longer review with more detail and some fun humor, go to Then get moving! ... and reading! Kymberly of Fun and Fit.

73 Exercise Quotes to Help You Get and Stay in ShapeAnd just because I can write a book, doesn't mean you should pay attention to it. Runyon had an 'in your face' attitude about fitness, which I appreciated as a fat guy trying to loose weight. However, the book was repetitive...could have done without that.Although I was a bit reluctant to read this book because I don't think working out sucks (I'm a fitness instructor and personal trainer), I loved it.
It's perfect for the not-yet-fit who know they should get moving but are having a hard time getting over their activation energy. The authors point out all the things that suck even more than working out, including illness and death.
I particularly enjoyed the second section of the book, ways to change your behavior.
If you need a bit of a kick to get started working out, buy this book!Easy to read, great practical advice but also in-your-face facts when needed to start or continue your healthy journey. Highly recommend!
