This book is well researched, well presented, and easy to use. Most every question about bone health I asked is answered in here somewhere. The exercise section is well laid out, gives practical suggestions and offers viable alternatives. Very nice book. Recommend highly.

I took a class based on this author's work - it was great. But the book I found fairly useless. I was hoping there would be more attention paid to different weight lifting exercises but that was a very small part of the book. It was more about her opinions on bones which I found irrelevant for me. I am not a big western medicine fan but if you are then you might enjoy this book. I gave it away.

If you're new to the topic of osteoporosis, this looks like a good starting point. But if you've been staying up-to-date by reading articles and talking to health professionals and people who've been diagnosed, you'll already know most of what's in this book.

Very good information for women of all ages. The updated version was similar to the orginal but some new info.

I am one of those many young (-ish...44) women
who appear to be in good shape but
walk around with osteopenia and most of the
risk factors for osteoporosis. This book was
written in simple-to-understand English, based
on sound modern research. It gave me a place to
start my quest to get stronger. I am buying it
for many of my girlfriends.

Dispite taking medication and suppliments my osteoporosis condition was not getting better. I have started the strength-training exercises and diet in STRONG WOMEN, STRONG BONES. Even though it has only been a few weeks I am beginning to feel stronger and healthier. I am continuing the medication and suppliments. I have cut down the calcium I was taking and eating more foods that contain calcium as recommended in the book. The book is easy to read and understand. The exercises are easy to follow. I would not use this book without consulting my doctor.

I recomend "Strong Women, Strong Bones" for any woman who has been diagnosed with osteopenia or osteoporosis. It has all the basics, definitions and how to be pro active in staying healthy. Bravo..

Every woman needs this book! This is a book your doctor should have given you. Women need the information in this book at all ages in their lives. Like she points out in the book, you are never to old to start getting stronger.

I got this book after being diagnosed with osteoporosis. I wish I would have gotten it years ago. I believe I could have avoided the diagnosis of osteoporosis in my life. But, it's not too late. I quit taking all those nasty drugs they give you for osteoporosis and started doing the strengthening exercises recommended in this book. I have started slowly and will work my way up to the more advanced ones she shows in the later chapters. That's one of the good things about this book. Anyone can do it at any stage of mobility and age.

The book is wonderfully written in layman's terms. There's no doctor mumbo jumbo in it. There are sections on nutrition and supplements also. I feel some of the supplement information is a little outdated. However, that doesn't take anything away from the book. It's still a great book. Who doesn't want to stay young and have strong bones? You can do that at any age. Just read this book. Highly recommend.

This book gives you great information about preventing osteoporosis and how to treat it if you already have it.

I'm working on the exercises and I think, so far, they will be very helpful and I'm 70 years old.

Book offered confirmation of information I have been told for many years by my MD.
well written and easy to read.
