About this deal

Lansbury's philosophy was to stay positive about each new day: "I take these few moments to focus on the day ahead. All written content, unless otherwise noted as being quotes, has been written and copyrighted by me. But I love that she explains that this is what she does, and not necessarily what everyone should do, because that means that she is sensible enough to know that what works for one person won't work for another. Right from a childhood of dancing across Regents Park in a toga, Lansbury had a positive, practical approach to life.

Her art shaped my life so I am definitely here for good and the old lady just got 96 (I think) so I assume she knows what's up. Published in 1990, Lansbury's thoughts on managing her weight, moods, effects of aging and staying mentally healthy are mostly timeless. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. If you’re too young to remember, it was a perfect storm of spandex and leg warmers, brought on by Jane Fonda’s Workout Book and Olivia Newton John’s “Physical,” and culminating in every single famous person ever putting out a workout video. In truth, the book’s real value is the bit of light it casts into Lansbury’s life and upbeat personal philosophy.Yes, the Murder She Wrote star followed in the footsteps of Debbie Reynolds by releasing a workout tape presumably aimed at women of a certain age, although the moves Lansbury demonstrates can benefit anyone. For a ’70s kid like me, she was notable for being the witchy woman in Bedknobs and Broomsticks, a Disney film that climaxes with live-action suits of armor coming to life and fighting off Nazis. When Positive Moves came out, Lansbury was most recognizable as the star of Murder, She Wrote, which was in the fifth of its twelve seasons.

But there's actually a lot of good advice to behold here no matter your age, and the notion of an older star promoting her fitness routine and lifestyle advice to women of her age range was ahead of its time in the 1980s. Much of the advice seems to be good advice to talk, although there were a few things I disagreed with as something I would want to do, personally.Read all Angela Lansbury, successful film and television actress, stars in this documentary about her personal program for fitness and well-being.

The tape gives us a look into a typical day off for Lansbury: in addition to exercising and stretching, she takes a walk, polishes her Mercedes, goes for a swim, kneads bread, does a bit of gardening, enjoys a cup of tea, and takes a bubble bath where she reveals that she believes "femininity and sexuality go hand-in-hand" and talks a bit about keeping romance alive after menopause. The content and writing style are so breezy and light it feels like you are sitting down with auntie Angela for a good chat.

Angela Lansbury, successful film and television actress, stars in this documentary about her personal program for fitness and well-being.This book was never intended to me a workout book or a weight loss book, as some reviewers seem to think. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Then, there was the Time of Great Confusion when they all seemed to have gone to the mall en masse and bought parachute-fabric jogging suits. I read this in preparation of an "in memorial" episode about Lansbury for my podcast, Advanced TV Herstory.
