Not for me by hd (fairfield) 2 Stars
December 30, 2008
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.

Just what the MD told me by Jeanette Ewing (Panhandle, TX) 4 Stars

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

Book-Strong Women, Strong Bones by Marcy A. Abbale 5 Stars
August 30, 2008
Excellent information for men & women about maintaining healthy bone levels and if you have already been diagnosed with osteoporina or osteoporosis it gives information vital to rebuilding bone loss.

Strong Book by Heather Dubov (Allentown Pa) 5 Stars
August 17, 2008
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.

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.
