This giveaway has now ended. Congratulations, Catherine and Katherine Ryan!
Pace: The 12-Minute Fitness Revolution by Al Sears, M.D. is a revolutionary approach to fitness where you can become and stay fit in twelve minutes a day. You aren’t even supposed to work out for twelve uninterrupted minutes – you exercised in short, intense bursts followed by rest. I think it’s a great option for oft-interrupted moms. The book includes a few calisthenics moves, and suggests a wide variety of other ways you can get exercise.
I found the book interesting and worth reading. The central message of the book – that you can become more fit while eating what you like (within a few simple guidelines) and exercising in whatever way you find most enjoyable – is intriguing, and I see this book as a great place to start for anyone struggling with fitness, as well as anyone looking to change their current fitness regime. 
I would like to see a shorter, more concise version of the book with less of an infomercial tone. I also wish the book didn’t spend so much time criticizing other exercise formats – particularly since the author suggests using his fitness routine alongside marathon training after bashing marathon running earlier in the book.

Something I learned from the website is that the exercises also increase your lung capacity.

I have had some health issues so anything that can help me strengthen my body without exhausting it would be a great help. Thank you for this giveaway :)

I was just thinking “I don’t know if I ever get 12 minutes uninterrupted”, and then read that you don’t even need that long. Sounds great!! Thanks for the chance!

Well, infomercials aren’t my thing, but I could certainly do with a little more fitness in my life. :-)
