Exercise for Strong Bones: A Step-by-step Program to Prevent Osteoporosis and Stay Fit and Active for Life - Softcover
Synopsis
A specially devised home exercise regime for women to help them prevent or reverse the effects of bone loss and stay fit, active and confident for life. It starts with information on how to assess your current level of fitness then takes you through choosing and using weights, body bars and exercise bands and fitness clothes. This is followed by a range of warm-up stretches and exercises then a full programme of weight-bearing and resistance exercises through to the final cool downs. The individual exercises can be tailored to suit personal fitness, strength and flexibility levels - from the super-fit down to those with weak knees. The spiral-bound, stand-up format means that the exercises can be followed easily to ensure correct technique. The purpose, correct technique and advice on adapting the exercise are featured on the top page while the bottom page takes you through the sequence step-by-step. Therefore, the exercises can be quickly accessed by the flip of a finger. Illustrated throughout with photographs and diagrams, and written in clear language, this is ideal for those new to strength training.

spiral_bound. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
