This book demonstrates simple exercises to return to natural alignment; improve overall health; and prevent or heal aches, pains, and injuries. Jennifer Rhodes looks at the body as an integrated system and offers a step-by-step plan for developing cardiovascular capacity, strength, and flexibility. Including anecdotes and stories, examples, and plenty of encouragement, she provides instructions for getting maximum benefit from every workout.
