The book arrived in a timely fashion and was in excellent condition. I am in the process of reading it now, so I will let you know later on how it was.

I was hoping the book would give more examples of exercizes to do. I was also hoping it would have touched more on nutition and suppliments and where to get the right kind of supplements for people who have food allergies. As an exercise book, I foung it lacking in showing how to do different exercises woth pictures-too much talking about why it is important and not enough of how to do it with pictures of how to do it properly and without injury- for different fittness levels.

This book is filled with common sense advice and some fantastic exercises. I’m 50 and in fairly good shape (I run, elliptical or bike for a half hour 5-6 days a week – plus I walk my dog for an hour each day). I’ve been experiencing “boomeritis” in recent months and was going from one injury to another. And half the time, the injury came about from doing simple tasks like tossing a ball for my dog or just getting out of bed in the morning. Vonda Wright is an orthopaedic surgeon so I trusted what she had to say – and again, the book is really filled with common sense advice. She gives great flexibility and strength training workouts and answered most of the questions I had about how to remain active when your body is starting to balk. It motivated me to incorporate a strength training workout into my usual routine, and I’m glad I did. The book is for anyone who enjoys being active (or is just starting out and wants to become active) and hopes to stay that way for a long time. I highly recommend this book.

I am a Holistic Health Counselor. I give this book to my clients. One key item is the great tips on how to stay healthy and strong to avoid hip fractures. I think that is huge when we get older. I definitely recommend this book!

After being a couch potato I decided to jump back into things but was nervous about being out of shape. This book is for anyone who hasn’t been in the game for awhile and gives you the tips and tools you need to get off of the couch and back in the race. This book speaks to you not at you and is definately a motivational tool for me.
