Amazon Reviews:
“Clear, simple and well illustrated, this second book by Australian-born but Scottish-based personal trainer Tracy Griffen is invaluable as a straightforward guide to effective exercise and fitness for anyone, not just gym-bunnies. No fancy equipment is needed but there are some exercises shown for those with, for example, a Swiss ball or hand weights. There's even some exercises you can do during a walk in the park.
Tracy writes in a relaxed and informed manner and the content is easy to read and apply. Having enjoyed her previous "Healthy Living Yearbook" I was looking forward to this new one and was not disappointed. Recommended.” - Rusty
“This book is a godsend. Because of covid I've not been able to go to my usual zumba classes (I tried zoom fitness classes but they didn’t work for me). I was feeling a bit unfit but not sure what to do about it. Then I read Get Fit and Enjoy It. It is exactly what I needed. I like Tracy Griffen's approach, it is accessible and engaging without being patronising. She offers clear and easy-to-follow instructions ( with photos) for exercises which can all be done in your own home. She is by profession a personal trainer with 15 years of experience behind her, so she knows her stuff. At first I was worried that a not-particularly-fit person like myself wouldn't be able to do the exercises. But I managed fine – at the easy level, of course, but it's early days! I'm so pleased. I've set myself some simple goals and a doable fitness routine and I'm really looking forward to getting fit!” - Marianne Wheelighan
“Easy to follow and gently motivating. Tracy's book means that even when it is blowing a gale or peeing it down outside, you have credible options for physical activity within your own home. Clear explanations and good pictures make the activities easy to adopt. For me the strength activities are the bonus as these are what I find boring. Managing to break them up into small chunks whilst at home (especially in lockdown) makes them much more achievable. And you get to support a local business. Plus if you like what you read you could top up with some sessions from Tracey herself (which I benefitted from years ago). What is not to love. Thoroughly recommend.”
“I like Tracy’s common sense approach to exercise. This book is perfect if you want to get fit, but don’t fancy going to a gym. It’s especially relevant in these COVID times when we are spending much more time at home. I can highly recommend it” - Sue Light
