From Library Journal

 

We all know that exercise is good for us, but too much of a good thing - or the right thing done wrong - can lead to serious musculoskeletal problems. 

 

Carey, an exercise physiologist, and DiNubile, a sports medicine physician, have each written a book that will help people safely start, maintain, and build an exercise program. Both authors take philosophical approaches rooted in therapeutic modality, meaning that they prescribe exercises based on the interaction of the whole body. Carey believes that many musculoskeletal problems result from muscular length and strength imbalances. To correct these imbalances, he has developed the Function First program, which focuses on proper body alignment, kinesthetic awareness, and core body strength and stability.

DiNubile, meanwhile, presents many of the same core body exercises as Carey; to boot, there is an extensive preexercise screening questionnaire and advice on aesthetics, weightlifting, diet, and seeking medical advice in case of injury. Both titles are well organized, include helpful illustrations, and impart advice that is in line with what trainers today are offering at many top health clubs. Both are highly recommended for public, consumer health, and human resource collections.-Howard Fuller, Stanford Health Lib., Palo Alto, CA

Product Description

A renowned orthopedic surgeon provides the first medically proven fitness program designed to help prevent the #1 reason for doctor visits in the United States-bone and joint problems Fitness can't be just about a healthy heart or looking good in a swimsuit. After all, low cholesterol and a flat stomach won't get you very far if back or neck problems, or a worn out knee or shoulder, keep tripping you up. This first-of-its-kind program is designed to ensure that your frame can go the distance, with durability to match the muscle tone and conditioning we all want. And unlike other workouts, Framework starts with a unique self-test that uncovers potential problems with your frame, your workout, your nutrition, and more. It even combines diet and lifestyle advice with a balanced, customizable workout that acknowledges the fact that our bodies are all a little different and often need special attention. It teaches you to pay attention to what your body tries to tell you, and when it is being challenged by a special problem, whether it is a heel spur or stress on the job.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews 80 of 82 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Re-Model Your Frame, October 30, 2007 By  homer2 - See all my reviews 'Framework' is a fitness program for your bones and joints and offers a complete workout combined with diet and lifestyle advice. It is divided up into three parts. Part one discusses why you need framework. Part two is the program and its components include cardio, core strengthening and flexibility, upper and lower body stretching and strengthening exercises, resting and recovering, diet, and decreasing stress. And finally, part three discusses various treatment options for when your frame fails (injuries). This is not a terribly detailed section, but rather offers the reader a general overview. All-in-all I felt it to be a worthwhile resource for anyone looking to give their aged or worn frame a tune-up. Also recommend Treat Your Own Rotator Cuff for more detailed info on rotator cuff tears and fixing many shoulder problems. 36 of 40 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Framework great for your frame and frame of mind, August 13, 2005 By  Susanfilm (Delaware County, PA) - See all my reviews Finally a body maintenance bible. "Framework" is the most complete and informative book on health that I've ever read. I was so impressed that I bought and sent copies to each of my 3 adult, health conscious children. "Framework" speaks to us in lay terminology that is understandable and interesting. I especially liked the self administered multiple choice test that questions and responds to our individual health needs. The emphasis is on building and maintaining your muscles, bones and joints through a 7 step program creating a foundation for healthy living. I've been hoping and waiting for someone who has the credibility to write such a book that meticulously outlines your path to optimal health. Now I've found him in this book's author, Dr. Nicholas DiNubile, the nation's leading sports medicine specialist. 30 of 33 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Detailed, September 30, 2005 By  Lee "Lee" (Cailfornia) - See all my reviews This book is written well and describes common injuries and preventions that will help you with your injuries. The book breaks down the chapters into easy to follow body parts and common injuries that occur to these regions and the exercises to perform. Mostof the exercises are not new, but are a good review for those who have not picked up any weights in a while. The author takes his time to explain major faults and injuries ro specific regions such as the ankle and foot and common prevention measures to take once you have been injuried. Also recommend " The Backsmart Fitness Plan" by Dr. Weiss a great campaion to Frame work, Dr.Weiss goes into more detail of abdominal and core workouts and stretches that are different and very helpful.These books are worth the price for bulding a stronger, healther body.
