Products: Books
I have published three books — all available on Amazon — on safe exercise. The three books are:
1. Exercise for Better Bones
Exercise for Better Bones — Exercise for Better Bones is for those of you with osteoporosis, osteopenia, or low bone density and want a safe and effective exercise program to improve your bone health, reduce your fracture risk, maintain your independence and improve your confidence.
I have designed osteoporosis exercise programs that incorporate weight bearing, cardio, flexibility, balance, and posture improvement. I also cover exercises you should avoid.
The book offers four program levels: Beginner, Active, Athletic and Elite. Exercise schedules are available online for you to follow your program.
2. Strengthen Your Core
Strengthen Your Core — Strengthen Your Core for my clients who want to improve their core strength.The book covers the theory behind core strength and provides detailed descriptions of each of the Plank and Side Plank poses for all client levels—from beginners just starting to build core strength to advanced elite athletes wanting to gain that competitive edge.
Core exercises are organized by level—Beginner, Active, Athletic, and Elite. Over 70 Plank and Side Plank poses are described (with photo illustrations).
