A physical therapist friend of mine recently recommended getting a fitness ball, including to use as a chair replacement at work. I stumbled across this title from while searching and thought the title made it sound perfect. I ended up returning it after reading through, and will be looking for a different book with information I find more useful to me.Basically, there was a brief and unscientific bit of lip service given regarding the attributes of using a ball. Yes, core work is good. Yes, being more active and being more thoughtful about lifestyle habits such as food choices and activity level are important. There were superficial comments made regarding lifestyle, attitude and approach to daily life--such as 'don't get that sugar laden latte' 'don't eat that first piece of cheesecake or you might eat more later in the week' (or words to that effect, as I returned my copy to I don't have the exact quote). Lots of platitudes, recommendations like taking stairs when at work, about having a positive outlook when commuting, plus a smidgeon of possibly dubious eating advice etc. Just not really relevant to actually USING an exercise ball at work which is what I was looking from in a book with 'a simple guide' as part of the title.The scope of this book is too limited to include everything about healthy living, so it would have read better if it had retained a more focused approach in my opinion.Of course, I can skip anything I consider fluff or filler, so my biggest problem with the book though was the goofy way the exercises were introduced and named--'lets call this a creep exercise and you can do this move like you are pretending to avoid the office creepy guy'.
