Short description

"Working-Out" is a dangerous activity that should be avoided or at least minimized at any age. "Working-Out" becomes more dangerous as you get older.

Extended description

It seems that the most 'fit' generation in the history of the US also has the highest incident of bone and joint injuries, pains and ailments in the history of the US.

Is it possible that 'Working-Out' is dangerous to the health of your joints?

'Working Out' in our culture is based on the belief that effort creates progress, so that more effort is expected to yield more progress.

As we all know, it is possible to get in better shape by forcing the body to greater ability through effort and pain. The unfortunate aspects of this way of exercising include the enormous amount of wear-and-tear on the body, and the joints in particular. The long-term effects of injured and destroyed joints can make life miserable.

There is another way of getting in shape without suffering from these undesirable side effects. It is a way of getting in shape without 'working out'. It is a way of getting more fit without effort (though not without exercise). The basic concepts are presented in this book.

Review by: Paul Pedtke on Aug. 25, 2012 :
This book is an excellent start to beginning a new direction in your life and health. I have first-hand experience with Ofer's approach, and can say that it has changed my health and my understanding of health. We find out that the choices and experiences of our life that now bring pain to our bodies can be re-trained and improved. I await more books from Ofer, for the amazing improvements his advice and techniques have brought me so far.

I love the approach of this book. It encourages us to be gentle with our bodies as we exercise. It teaches us how to be fit without the side effects of joint pain and joint damage. It introduces the concept of Fitness without Effort. Please write more books, Ofer!

This book will change the way you exercise. And it will teach you how you live healthy life in a gentle, kind, and easy way. You don't need to feel pain to be healthy and happy. It should have published long time ago. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience, Ofer!
