About this ebook
Here's what people are saying about Kathi's Couch Potato Program:
"My son called me in a panic after pulling his car to the curb to assist a woman who could not get herself up after tripping on the sidewalk. He was concerned because he thought I could be in the same predicament. I was close! But, I assured him that I could get up off the floor with ease thanks to Kathi's program. It was like a new beginning for me!" Becky Grover
"Jeans that I haven't worn in years are now fitting me again and I feel like I have a whole new wardrobe!" Lisa Hart
"Kathi's programs take a beginner through each step of an exercise. She teaches one to coordinate breathing accordingly. I recommend Kathi's programs to anyone seeking a strong foundation." Dr. Tara Mendonca, MD.

Get Off The Couch, Potato! - Kathi Casey
Introduction
Hello Couch Potatoes,
Today is the day you begin your personal path toward better health and well-being! Today you are taking your first steps toward a lifetime of joy, vitality, and self-confidence. The tools you are learning in these pages will provide a basis for easy changes that will become new daily habits and will provide many long-term benefits. The most important step is the first one and I am going to help you with that one.
You have probably heard this before, but the absolute best way to achieve success is to begin with small, achievable goals and reward yourself for each and every success along the way–no matter how small it seems. Also, please remember not to berate yourself for any missteps or fallbacks along the way. You didn’t become a couch potato in two weeks, and it’s unrealistic to think that you can change old habits in just two weeks. Be patient with yourself. This little book is a 30-day plan that is fun and easy to do, doesn’t require expensive equipment, and you don’t need to carve out large chucks of time from your already busy schedule. In fact, you can begin this program while lying in your favorite spot watching television! (I told you it was easy.)
Before we begin, I’m going to ask you to make a few promises to yourself:
1. Forget what you’ve heard or been told in the past about your weight or diets or any criticism that may have been showered upon you. Today, just be willing to make a few easy, positive changes. Self-
acceptance and self-approval work hand in hand with the tools in this book. They are all you need to begin your personal journey toward better health.
2. Lock your scale away in a closet for 30 days. Next, measure the thickest part around the top of your thighs while you are standing up. After 30 days, measure again and you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
3. Follow the directions on each page once a day AND repeat the affirmations several times a day. In fact, post a note with your daily affirmation on the refrigerator or on your desk, so that you’ll see it
and repeat it every time you look there.
4. Know that when you are taking these first steps and working with these exercises, you carry my support and sincere wishes for the best of health.
Now,
Let’s Begin!
Day 1
Turn on your favorite TV program, then lie on your right side on the couch with your head resting in your right hand, right elbow supporting. Inhale deeply as you slowly raise your left leg straight up
