This was nicely done, with a lot of information. I had done the Strong Women weight training program several winters ago, and have continued doing the leg exercises, but not the arm ones, as I have had a problem lately with my right wrist. There was a fair amount of repetition--which seems to be necessary for these authors to fill up a whole book. She mentioned some medications which are new to me. I would take it with me if I were going to consult about my worsening bone density.
I more browsed this book than read it comprehensively - I already know about my risk factors, and was looking for information on diet and exercise change to take action. It would be nice if there were .pdfs or online information about the exercises, which would seem more convenient.
Good exercise program --
