Don't be fooled by the title 
As a clinician-scientist, I believe in evidence
based medicine
There is no evidence base to support the work-out
shown here to my knowledge have been proven
to build bones as opposed to other types
of exercise. As scientist from respected institution
like NASA can tell you, the only most important
way the body needs to stimulate bone building
is periodic weight-bearing exercises & stepping.
The same view is shared by neurophysiologists
of NIH of USA
This kind of title is extremely misleading
& should be taken with a grain of salt

Who Knew?
I learned a lot about how to keep my ospeopedia from progressing into osteoperosis. Who knew that walking did not help? This book claims that the key to preventing osteoporsis is weight training. The author provides six basic, progressive work-out progams which can be done at home. I was definitely inspired to try her approach to preventing bone loss.

WHAT YOUR DOCTOR FORGOT TO TELL YOU!!
Like many people who are diagnosed with osteopenia or osteoporosis, I recived just about NO information from my doctor on how to improve bone health. It was just -- "take this pill and I'll see you at your annual physical." I was deeply upset that she had no information for me, provided almost no insight, and seemed vastly disinterested in providing any. I went out and looked for books to provide the information I needed. I found this book and couldn't be happier. In conjunction with Gillian Sanson's enlightening book "The Myth of Osteoporisis," this book should be in the hands of everyone who is interested in bone health.
This is an absolutely fabulous book! Well laid out, exercises are easy to do, 2 each routines for those with osteoporosis, osteopenia, or no diagnosis of either. A GREAT segment on spinal alignment.
This is a MUST HAVE book for every person who is interested in bone health. I liked the fact that although the majority of the exercises show a female demonstrator, her partner in some segments was male, and the demonstrator for spinal alignment is male. Men get osteoporisis, too.
Wnderful book!! Highly recommended.
