TESTIMONIAL

REVIEWS & TESTIMONIALS

I trained for a marathon once… to the fridge. This book is my bible. Chapter 3 saved me from ever using stairs again. 10/10, would nap while reading.

Jenny Thompson Professional Couch Critic

Finally, a workout plan I can stick to: no workouts. Chapter 2’s ‘dog ate my gym shoes’ excuse changed my life. My couch thanks you, Paula.

Dave Rodriguez CEO of Chill

Read this while ‘recovering’ from a 3-hour nap. Chapter 4 taught me laundry is optional. My laundry pile is now a modern art installation. Pure genius.
