After seeing this author in a television interview, I bought the book. The book provides exercises for the over 40 crowd, as the title suggests. The pictures of the exercises are clear and the information relavent and user friendly. An excellent purchase.
great find! February 9, 2009

I saw the author talking about the book on the 700 Club and bought it.
The book has the type of information I need as a senior citizen. Recently , I had an injury and had to be in physical therapy. This book explains a lot of the problems we face in aging.
If you don't maintain your strength in old age you will be subject to loss of balance and injury. As we age our muscles weaken, I had a dislocated knee due to loss of muscle tone.
This book is beneficial for the 40+ and essential for 60+.

Well written by an orthopedic surgeon who understands body mechanics better than any lay person could. The directions for the exercises are clear, and the many photos leave nothing to chance.
