Beat Osteoporosis with Exercise: A Low-Impact Program for Building Strength, Increasing Bone Density and Improving Posture

This book has been very helpful in my health quest.

When I was diagnosed with Osteopenia in my spine, I didn't get much information from the doctor except to take calcium and do weight bearing exercise. What I like best about this book is the concise description of the condition, and how to combat and hopefully reverse it. The book contains beginning to advanced exercise programs with pictures. I only had to make a small investment in exercise ball and bands, foam rollers and a large tennis ball, and they are well worth it for doing the exercises properly. I already see better posture and balance. This book gave me a roadmap to what I hope will be a great improvement in my condition.

I was looking for a book with more free weight exercises for osteoporosis. There are a lot of things shown that can be done without equipment, but the book also shows things to do with kettle bells, yoga balls, medicine ball, and resistance bands.

Just simplify a daily routine, please dont over complicate this.

It's taken me a while to get into this book.....but it has turned out to be an excellent buy. While it is great to watch exercise videos, what happens when you try to do something and you can't do it? This book has proven to be very effective at creating multiple exercises to get you from A to Z. And, there are multiple exercise programs for Osteoporotic individuals, a fast & furious total body workout, multiple programs for healthy individuals, and flexibility workouts. If you are concerned about how much you can do and not hurt yourself, this is an excellent start. Loads of advice in the front section. And, if you need progressive exercises to get you to a certain point, he has that too!

This is a great book, full with lots of exercises, this is what I was looking for, all the other books give you just a vague examples of exercises but not enough for you to make a routine. I'm a person which do exercise every day, but after I was diagnosed with osteoporosis I was scare to keep doing them, now I know which ones I can do and which ones I can't. I don't think that is a book for people who never did exercise before.

Exercises are easy to follow and understand. Photos are very helpful to refer to. Great variety of exercises.

Great exercises and stretches with photographs.
