5must read  Jun 23, 2008

Thanks the author for sharing her research with us.

5Personality-based exercise: brilliantly simple! I dig it!  Jun 01, 2008
'8 colors' was unbelievably helpful in adjusting my fitness activites so I could actually consistently stick with it and make progress.

I started reading this book and was pleasantly surprised to find Suzanne Brue's fitness advice for me to be spot on for how I exercise the best. I'm a 'Silver Harmony,' so it has to be fun and simple.

I was forcing myself to exercise in a complicated gym routine and could never stay consistent. I've switched to Yoga and team sports and It's much easier for me to stay on my program.

The book does an excellent job of helping define what exactly is my personality (based on Myers-Briggs Personality tests) and then goes to illustrate the exercise program that would work for me.

This book lays out fitness so simply and effectively, I recommend it for everyone who has had trouble consistently exercising.


5A Book to Read with Family and Friends  Apr 16, 2008
This book has good information for those who need guidance in selecting the right exercise. It also helps in confirming that you are already doing the exercise that best suits you. It is interesting to match your personality with a color and even more interesting to do it with input from others. I picked the book for information and then discovered that it also can be used for a lively discussion with family and friends.

5Tools for the exercise battle  Mar 20, 2008
In Younger Next Year, Chris Crowley explained very clearly WHAT I need to do in the way of exercise and Harry Lodge was just as clear WHY I need to do it. All well and good but it took Suzanne Brue in The 8 Colors of Fitness to show me HOW I could get my head around the everyday reality of exercise. I know I can use all the tools that there are in this battle. Both books are great and necessary, why don't you sell them as a package?
