We don’t usually review books, but today is an exception : we are obliged, because Claire loves Kater Jacob.
Jacob is 40 years old, but he doesn’t look like this. His secret ? Seven miracle exercises he practises daily, as for example :
These exercises are widely inspired by the Five Tibetans, a compilation of five yoga exercises which would have beneficial effects for the whole body.
Hans Peter Brugger, author, practises these seven exercises, and the idea to make a small book came to him when his daughter Lea, still a kid, began to practise them with him.
Sven Hartmann, illustrator and painter, is since 40 years Kater Jacob’s daddy.
Every exercise appears on a double spread : on the left, the description (and Jacob’s little comment !), and on the right the steps in pictures. Even if you don’t speak German, you will understand easily. Furthermore, the illustrations are adorable.
Sven, Hanspi and Jacob called on to doctors and physiotherapists to estimate the presented exercises. Their opinion : valid and to be recommended !
You will find the book “Fit mit Jacob” (in German) in all good booksellers and on www.woerterseh.ch.
This book was given us free of charge and we did not receive other compensation. The expressed opinions are only ours.
My human has done the five Tibetans in the past – she really should get back to doing them, along with her other exercise.
That looks like a pawsome book.
We think humans could benefit from doing those exercises 😉

The illustrations are cute and maybe will inspire some to exercise.
Whoa! That Jacob sure is fit.
A feline instructor is just about the only way I’m interested in getting exercise! I’m in love with the illustrations!
Oh, what a fun book! And the illustrations are too adorable.
Our mom could definitely use these exercises. She sits WAY too much.
Exercises described with cats? Outstandingly great idea! Who can stretch better than WE do?
We should get Mom to do these exercises! I love the drawings.
