I know now the connection between mind and body is the only way to live in serenity. This book has showed me that exercise is a lifestyle involving both mind and body. I will use this tool daily and encourage others to do so as well."

In time I began to feel my sad spirits lift. With Jeff's system I was able to find an outlet for my poor emotional states. My energy picked up, my self image improved, and my overall quality of life was enhanced. I recommend his book to all my friends.

"This book is a thoughtful and innovative approach to mental and physical wellness. Too many mental health physicians and treatment clinics overlook the importance of exercise (purposeful body movement) in a client's recovery plan. Jeff's emphasis on empowerment, well being and mindfulness is refreshing. His personal energy and enthusiasm are infectious!"

"Rutstein on Fitness outlines a step-by-step activity plan that anybody, at any age, in any shape, can do simply, in the privacy of their own home. It's not like you have to find the energy to run around the block, which seems impossible. This is so easy to start, and makes you feel so good, you want to do it. It's not like a work out at all!"

"This has been the only exercise regime that has succeeded for me. Consistent strength training has had positive effects with both my body and my mood. It has improved my self-image, self-esteem and depression. The exercises in Rutstein on Fitness are gentle enough to avoid injury yet vigorous enough to make a profound difference. Other exercise programs have pushed too hard which made me feel like a weak failure. This program makes me feel like a success every day. Thanks Jeff. I feel great!"

"I was never a fan of exercise. It seemed like a time-consuming chore that only added stress to my life-another commitment I had to deal with. After reading Rutstein on Fitness I now view exercise as a stress management tool. I can almost hear Jeff telling me to release the tension with every exhale. Now, I make time for exercise every other day and feel like I can handle anything that comes my way."

"The secret to the program in Rutstein on Fitness is that it is accessible, simple, fun, sustainable, and it feels good. I have never liked exercise, especially weight training. This book taught me to feel the various muscles that were doing the exercises and I began to enjoy using my body. I could feel my muscles expand and contract, and as a result, my body became a vehicle for pleasure and not just shame."
