" 'Get Into Shape At Home' is a wonderful exercise programme that fits easily into a busy working mum's life!  The exercises are simple, manageable and in great, bite-size chunks.  I've already noticed a difference to my body shape, and as a nurse, I am benefiting from the muscle strengthening exercises, to reduce work related injuries to my back and shoulders.  I would highly recommend this programme and encourage anyone to give it a go!

Hi Andrea

Just wanted to report on the book

I am finding it very easy to follow and to manage the programme. I can fit it into my week as you suggest in your guidance notes. The regime is just right - it takes enough effort, and I like the flexibility of adding extra numbers of each procedure, both gradually to build up the effort as I get stronger, as well as in any exercise where I feel comfortable to do more than the minimum.  I  feel included in the theory by your explanations of the purpose for each exercise, the reasons for each "instruction", such as stretches at the end, and the explanation of what each exercise achieves. I feel fully supported and safe. Using your book & band is already having a good effect on my well being, body strength & shape. 

The band is so simple but does the job of providing "resistance" without the complex extra bits we pay extra for on many shop bought versions. I like your guidance on eating, too.

Congratulations on providing a user friendly and enjoyable way of getting into shape.

Andrea is always friendly and welcoming even if you havn't been for a few weeks. She seems very knowledgeable and spots any mistakes you make and comments constructively. She encourages everyone to participate in their own way

I really enjoy coming to the Tuesday class. I have been coming since it began. I am definately more flexible and being over sixty I think it does us all good, also we have good friendly chat with other people

Doris from Rowland Gill

The programme was not what I expected, what I found exciting was that everything was explained in detail, it was very helpful

Christine from Blaydon

I liked the discussions with other members of the group and learning about portion sizes.

Carole from Blaydon

Session four was very useful discussing the sizes and portions of food. It has been a very useful programme it means weight loss for life.

Angela from Rowlands Gill

Very interesting and clear and talking about food and recipes is very helpful

What I found useful was learning about basal rate and metabolic rate. The knowledge was good to use and pass on to family

Trish

What I found useful was the recipes and information on metabolic rate

Elizabeth

What was useful and helpful was the listing of healthy convenience foods and recognising some things need to stop e.g. buying biscuits

Very interesting - gives food for thought - no pun

Gill

The metabolic rate informtion was new to me.
