The Osteoporosis Exercise Book: Building Better Bones

Good for beginners or those who've just been diagnosed with osteoporosis or osteopenia

I was trained in Pilates during physical therapy for my pelvis. When I found out that I had severe osteoporosis, due to an illness of malabsorption/malnutrition, I discovered that many of the Pilates exercises could put me at risk for fracture. This book shows exercises and daily movements that are safe for an osteoporotic spine, so I now live in hope of not fracturing.

Was looking for more challenging exercises than what was in the book. Book was very basic.

If you have not been active in your life and are looking for safe exercises, this would likely be a good book for you. However, if you have exercised (and still are) most of your life, this book is way too basic. I would not have purchased it had I known that. Still, it could be very useful for some people, just not for me.

This is a great beginning book if you are learning about Osteoperosis. The information was clear and concise and easy to apply.

I had very high hopes for this book, but instead it's caused some debate re. how appropriate the exercises actually are. The published style is rather dated and the images aren't terribly inspiring. I'm surprised and really quite disappointed. Not returning it though because it's a great conversation starter amongst other teachers.

Excellent reference book with clear pictures and instructions. As luck would have it is in large print so even better for me to read the instructions.

Very basic exercises, not appropriate for someone at an advanced level.
