"The SIT AND BE FIT program is practical, effective and inspiring. It repeatedly makes the point that our bodies are our most precious possession. It is highly recommended."--Walter M. Bortz II, M.D., Clinical Associate Professor of Medicine, Stanford University School of Medicine

"I accidentally came to discover the Sit and Be Fit exercise program and it has proved to be one of the best things that has happened for my health and well-being. I have been struggling with a debilitating neck and shoulder injury for the past three years and after just a month-and-a-half of doing the Sit and Be Fit exercises I have regained almost my full range of motion in my right arm. I have also found that the rest of my body is getting stronger and more flexible and that my posture has really improved. And, all those small but annoying aches and pains are virtually gone." --Mauilea P.

"I discovered your show 2 years ago. I want to tell you YOU ARE WONDERFUL. Your demeanor, your hair, your cheerful smile every day. The exercises are just right for me. Your constant admonitions to go only to your own range of motion so we don't feel bad if we can't go as high as you. I love your show and it is helping me to stay healthy and mobile. I tell all my friends about it. You are doing a wonderful public service for us old and retired people who can't get out much. May God bless you. Keep up the good work." --Mrs. Dorothy P.
