Media reviews

"This little gem of a book—subtitled 50 Exercises to Do with Your Suit On—brings a cheeky light heartedness to the tiresome task of daily fitness" ~Forbes Life

"Dr. Alfred B. Olsen's cheeky new book explains that not only can one exercise while spiffily attired, but that doing so creates 'a more shapely body and attractive mind and spirit.'  Riiight.  If you're not sure where to start in this pocket guide, flip to its index and decide if you'd prefer to read about 'malodorous sweat,' or 'cold mitten friction'.  Either way, you won't need to shed that Band of Outsiders three-piece to perfect your 'graceful carriage'." ~Nylon

"It happens. You wake up in Marrakesh with nothing but a suit, a headache and an insatiable desire to exercise. That's where this book comes in—it will teach you 50 different ways to stretch, lift and generally give your body a workout, while wearing formal garb. And should you choose to indulge in the occasional bit of sans-clothes relaxation, there's also a chapter on sponge baths." ~Urbandaddy.com

"...the advice and diagrams dole out here are still practical tips for the manly man and the curious woman." ~Gotryke.com

"Exercises is essentially the men's magazine of a century ago" ~ModernTonic.com

"Quaint but not antiquated, the little illustrations of man-in-suit movements will amuse as well as instruct." ~StyleGoesStrong.com

"The stuff that’s outdated is now humorous, but there is always a surprising amount of wisdom that’s just as true now as it was then." ~ArtofManliness.com
