This review is from: A Morning Cup of Strengthening (Includes Audio CD) (Spiral-bound)

I have some osteoarthritis and this is perfect for me. It has great exercises for strengthening wrists and shoulders as well as the rest of your body. It also has some smaller routines for people with back problems and shoulder problems. I don't recommend this for people who are looking for advanced strength training.
