Praise for The Rosary
Workout
"My hat is off (and
workout gear on) for Peggy Bowes' The Rosary Workout
- an unlikely and unparalleled combination of beads of prayer
with beads of sweat. The author has put together a very well-structured,
methodical, easy-to-follow, and result-producing program incorporating
cardiovascular training with prayerful meditation through
the rosary. The book includes specific week-by-week routines
for people at beginner, intermediate, and advanced fitness
levels and it includes background material and how-to information
on how to pray the rosary and why we should. Readers will
enhance their knowledge and love of both the rosary and effective
exercise, and will be chomping at the bit to put both into
practice at once. I heartily endorse The Rosary Workout
to men and women, young and old, beginner and advanced in
physical or spiritual training."

"I am convinced that The Rosary Workout is
appropriate for anyone, at any spiritual or physical level.
I love that author Peggy Bowes has broken the workouts down
into different levels in both of these areas. The Rosary Workout
strengthens us both inside and outside and is a true blessing."

Handbook for Catholic Moms
I know that The
Rosary Workout ™ works! It’s the answer for anyone who feels
they are too time-starved to fit both daily prayer and
a regular workout into their lives. By combining the two,
you not only accomplish both goals, but you give yourself
two good reasons to get up and get it done – first because
you need the exercise and second because, if you’re like me,
it might be the only time of day you’ll get to pray the Rosary.
The Rosary Workout ™ is comprehensive and fits people of all
fitness and spiritual levels. As a fitness professional and
a prayer warrior, Peggy Bowes has employed both of these rare
talents to create a plan designed to strengthen both the body
and the soul, making this the most complete and essential
program on the market today.
- Susan Brinkmann, OCDS, Staff Journalist, Editor, Women of
Grace ®
"The Rosary Workout [is]a guide to a spiritual/physical workout
combining prayer and exercise, in an integrated whole-person
way. Peggy covers all the basics for body and soul, and I
think it is worth the read for the busy mother who is interested
in an integrated approach to physical fitness and the spiritual
life."
- Holly Pierlot, author of A Mother's Rule of Life
"Anyone who wants to add a spiritual dimension to an exercise
routine may find this program to be just what they are looking
for. We examined [The Rosary Workout] and it is well written
and spiritually enlightening (even if you decide not to exercise).

review
"I love that Peggy encourages readers to keep a journal that
includes not only details about each workout, but also details
about spiritual things. Did you go to Confession? Have you
been struggling? Do you have a special intention? Tying my
physical and spiritual health together in such a tangible
way feels right in a way that excites me, that makes me, for
once, WANT to work out."
- Sarah Reinhard, snoringscholar.com
"How could I not at least test it out and try it? I could
add spiritual growth and renewal at the same time as working
toward continued health. I could use the extra prayer time.
I could use a new way to lead me into deeper meditation. I
could use some guidance from someone who clearly knew fitness.
So I tried it. The workout is very well laid out and designed.
It can be for the most beginner of beginners, the postpartum
mom who is ready to get moving a little more and for those
of us in the frigid Midwest it will be wonderful to keep up
with in the winter months too. It can be simply implemented
with or without exercise equipment (elliptical, recumbent
bike, treadmill,etc.) or used just plain old walking or jogging.
Pretty versatile and easily accessed. No excuses or limitations."
- Sarah, Catholic blogger "With
a Hopeful Heart"
"As a busy mom of six,
I have been trying to improve my spiritual and physical health
for years. I've ready many books and bought numerous videos
but none were the right fit. Peggy Bowes' The Rosary Workout
has proved to be a practical, thorough and effective means
of enhancing my spiritual life as well as my physical health.
The integration of the physical with the spiritual makes this
no ordinary exercise program and no ordinary prayer method.
Bowes offers practical tips, personal encouragement and mulitple
resources that result in success."
