It's a good size to stand and use in flip-chart mode, which you can do because it's spiral-bound, made to do that. Good illustrations that you can see easily from a slight distance.
Exercises to strengthen areas most likely to fracture, to improve balance, and to make anyone who has already fallen or fractured bones begin to regain confidence and prevent recurrence. There's an intro that explains osteoporosis, weak spots vulnerable to fractures, ways to reduce risk, and then 6 warm-up stretches, followed by 21 exercises (some with dumbbells) and a few flexibility stretches.
Comprehensive, useful, well-done.
