Staying fit and trim needs a bit of commitment, finding the time and inclination to work out. Whether a person has a tight schedule or has a lot of free time, everyone can always come up with a lot of excuses why not to work out. The book humorously lists many of these excuses, which include - I dont get time to exercise, my kids don't allow me a break, and what's the point of joining a fitness centre when I know I'll quit.

The author systematically breaks these myths and excuses, and shows that there is no excuse for not exercising and staying fit. She shows how to plan a good workout regimen and fit it within any schedule.

The author uses her own story to serve as an inspiration. She had to face many health issues and design workouts that could get her fit and healthy again. She also suggests some innovative ideas for a workout, like working out with one’s children. She understands that children need a lot of time and attention when they are growing up, and a mother's schedule is tight. So, she suggests how a mother can creatively come up with some fun routines that the child can also participate in.

She suggests some ideas like swaying like a tree in a strong wind, hopping like animals, slowly building up from a frog hop to a rabbit hop to a kangaroo hop. Ideas like these are interesting and will easily get the child to workout along with the mother, and have a lot of fun.
