Summary: On my way to stronger bones!
Comment: I found the exercises in this book to be very helpful. The photos and descriptions of the exercises are clear, and the exercises are easy to scale up in difficulty as you become stronger. With each exercise, you are told which specific muscles you will strengthen as well as which part of your skeleton (hips, spine, wrists, etc) that will be strengthened.
Without sacrificing effectiveness, the exercises are kept fairly simple, requiring minimal equipment. More than half of the exercises can be done with no equipment at all (enabling a very complete routine), and the remainder can be done with a little supplemental equipment, including a chair, step, theraband/dynaband, free-weights, wrist/ankle weights, and inflatible stability ball.
I'm in my mid-30s and relatively active. While I found I could *do* almost all the exercises in the book, there is definitely still room for me to improve. With the optional increases in difficulty built into each exercise, this book will keep me challenged for some time to come.
Having said that, many of the exercises are basic enough that someone who is experiencing compromised mobility or who is recovering from illness will be able to manage many of the exercises in the book.
This book motivated me to get off my duff and start reversing my loss in bone mass. I'd recommend this book for anyone who already has osteoporosis as well as for those who want to avoid it.

Summary: Exercises for Osteoporosis
Comment: This book is great - full of exercises, illustrated photos and instructions. I also learned some new information on osteoporosis regarding building bone and what exercises don't work (contrary to popular belief.) Dianne Daniels is a clear, concise writer making the information easy to understand. I recommend the book for anyone with osteoporosis (like me) or anyone who wants to prevent it.

Summary: User-friendly with lots of pictures
Comment: This book acts like an exercise guide. It has smooth pages wtih nice black and white pictures depicting each exercise. The short descriptions on "how to do the exercises" is precise and to the point. Exercises center around the neck, back, torso, hip, wrist,chest, arms, and abs. Minimal equipment is required. Most exercises are done on a mat or a chair. Other accessories are easy to obtain: light weights, pillow,rubber ball, and such. I found this book very useful and easy to follow. The exercises are fairly easy and most anyone can do them. There are programs designed for people sufferning from osteoporosis, osteopenia, and the prevention of such. I found this extremely efficient because my mother and I can use the same book for her treatment and my prevention.
