I picked up this fitness calendar to encourage me to move a bit more at the office, rather than sitting all day.This is a small, desk, spiral style calendar. There are no days of the week or year, just the date and the month. This can be used any time, and restated any time. Each day there’s a new exercise.There’s a stick figure illustration on how to do the exercises, along with a brief description. No equipment is required.My problem is some of the exercises aren’t appropriate for the office. I work in a shared office space and there are constantly people coming in and out, it might confuse them if they found me laying on the floor with my leg up in the air.Any exercise that can be completed by standing up is fine.For the reason above I’m going to continue using this calendar from home. These exercises are straightforward and they aren’t time consuming.
I love the idea of this calendar, but it is geared for people who have a certain level of fitness already. It also doesn’t have rep or set suggestions which makes it harder for beginners to figure out what to do. I love that it is perpetual and that it has different types of exercises with pictures of each, but I wish it was a little more detailed. It’s a nice idea and a great gift for the somewhat active person in your life, but a beginner might find it hard to do some of the workouts.
My family and I absolutely love this fitness calendar. I placed it in a high traffic area in the kitchen and it has really brought us together to complete the "exercise of the day." With exercise, like meal planning, sometimes nothing comes to mind. This solves that problem by offering you something you might not have thought of, or thought of lately. The exercises are simple, yet fun and unique and appeal to a wide range of ages. The quality is good and we are really enjoying ensuring we incorporate some healthy movement every day.
I love that this calendar has the dates, but not the days, and is on a spiral. This ensures that you can use this calendar from the day you receive it. The exercises are simple, but enough to strengthen weak muscles or tone strong ones. This would make a great gift for yourself or for someone else who is looking to improve their fitness level.
This is a little gem of an idea that I have not seen before. The easel stand including spiral is approx 5x5 inches on its face and about 4 inches deep when fully expanded, including the pages. The paper quality is good. The print is clear, and pages are free from shadowing from the page behind. The double spiral on the top is a full inch large, making the pages easy to flip. The first page advises on how to scale the exercises to your fitness level. The calendar itself is a month and a number only. No context of a calendar. This is what makes it perpetual. That is crazy-making for ADHD-ers, but then I didn’t order it to be my primary calendar, I ordered it for motivation.)What I like best is that it requires no major commitments, no memberships, no equipment, nothing but your own body weight and about 3 minutes. Hourly TV commercials are longer than that. It gives you supportive permission to adapt the exercises to suit you. You can exercise in baby steps; it is not an all-or-none workout. It includes different movements (no repeats) and muscles for each day. It will probably remind you of variety, old favorites that you forgot.It takes up minimal space on a desk, shelf or in a workout space. You can jump in wherever you are whenever it arrives. The only thing I don’t like—no excuses.
