This Award-Winning Book Is The Ultimate Guide To Building Strong Bones And Better Balance

A diagnosis of Osteoporosis can be scary and overwhelming but it doesn’t mean you’re destined to spend the rest of your life in a rocking chair. It's time to take action, conquer the fear, and enjoy your life.

The perfect combination of playfulness and interesting facts makes this difficult material easy to read and easy to remember. Learn the underlying principles of bone health and FIVE KEY LIFESTYLE CHANGES that will put you on the path to stronger bones:

• Evidence-based bone-strengthening exercises that have consistently proven to be the most effective across international research studies
• Tips and exercises to improve your balance
• Nutrition recommendations and the BONES Food Pyramid
• How to understand your risk factors and Osteoporosis test results
• Supplements that support bone health and medications that your doctor may recommend

It’s all taught in a clear, concise format with detailed illustrations. The balance and strength training exercises are broken down into smaller building blocks and taught in a way that makes them easy to do and build on as you get stronger.

As a medical exercise specialist and subject matter expert in exercise for osteoporosis, Cindy Killip has spent years reviewing, compiling, and applying research from around the world and collaborating with physicians and other osteoporosis research experts. She developed and taught the highly successful and popular Building Bones and Balance exercise class for 12 years and it's still going strong after 24 years -- helping hundreds of people improve their bone strength and balance. She also worked with a team to build an osteoporosis exercise certification program for fitness instructors.
