Easy Exercises: Effortless Ways to Slip Fitness into Any Activity

by Jonathan Kamp

Easy Exercises is a small but powerful book - available in paperback and Kindle Edition - that explains how to sneak exercise into your everyday routine for seemingly effortless fitness. It is the original easy exercises book, as it dates to methods Jon Kamp developed in the 80s and 90s to stay fit with a heavy field schedule (Kamp used to be in the Army).

The techniques offer the absolute least intimidating exercise techniques known to mankind - because they're easy! - and still in use today by the author at 52 years old.

The book was essentially written for people who make New Year's resolutions to start jogging or to get fit quick - and then quit. It is also for people who think they have no time to exercise, which is a bunch of baloney - because the book tells you how to do two things at once.

The book also talks about doing wild and crazy things like parking your car, truck or motorcycle in a safe place - to walk or bicycle home along a similarly safe route - specifically to force yourself to exercise. It also covers disguising exercise so you don't realize you are exercising, as well as distracting yourself to the point that you don't notice that you're exercising.

It includes a recommendation to maybe take some time off from work to exercise - a sort of fitness sabbatical, aye. And offers at least one solution for exercise naysayers; for example, is there someone in your life who you suspect is holding you back because they don't like to exercise, and prefer that you do the same (not exercise?).

Stretching is extremely important while exercising, so much so, according to the author - that he eventually stumbled across a stretch that freed him up to exercise more than he had been before. And the author does not diet, per se - he uses a "dieting" method that conforms to any other diet.

A number of the techniques he recommends could be classified "extreme," but not in the ordinary sense (they're so easy, you might think them "odd"). So easy, in fact, that you may ask yourself, "Hey! Why didn't I think of that?!"

Areas to review in the Look Inside provided by Amazon (paper edition) to see if you need to buy the book might
The "two birds one stone" exercise suggestions. If you're interested in these, many people kill two exercise birds with one stone without realizing they are doing it.
Or the "virtuous circles" (search for this phase at Look Inside; on pages 14 and 41 in the paper edition, for example) that may be created with easy exercises. One is the inherent exercise "addiction" that develops after taking it easy on yourself for a while. Another is stretching! (A number of other exercise virtuous circles are also included in the book.)
Q&A What is the correct angle while performing flutter kicks? The answer is that it does not matter - because you can cheat! (Just make sure that you do them often; daily, for example.)
And, nobody is crazy enough to volunteer to do someone's job for them - specifically to get some exercise, right? The author is an expert at this method.
More ideas with the next book description update - so, stay tuned!

This is the 4th edition of the book. Please feel free to have fun with it.
