But you need to Practice
I purchased this book for the hand and wrist exercises. In my 80’s and I am taking guitar lessons. The Exercises are so far effective and have easy to follow instructions.The book itself first explains why exercises work, helps you set up a plan to follow, gives fairly easy to follow instructions and is full of illustrations where needed, i.e., non in the chapters on walking, swimming, bicycling, etc. It even includes a chapter on Meditation and three chapters on Exercising under Special Circumstances.While I am “new” to Arthritis, I feel this book gives me a way forward if my Arthrithis “expands”.

Really truly helpful!
I suffered for 8 months with inflammatory arthritis in my knees. I saw doctor after doctor, had test after test. The only solution was Celebrex which gave me chest pain. I got this book at our library out of desperation; I felt too young to lose my mobility. I’m thrilled to say these exercises were outstanding and really DO help.Best of all, the are at least half a dozen helpful exercises for every joint area in the body starting at the top and going down – even the jaw is covered.My husband started the exercises for back & jaw (he’s got TMJ) and they helped him as well.I can’t thank the authors enough for compiling such an honestly helpful book. How refreshing to actually find something that does what it says it does. THANK YOU. I have some relief in life finally.

A mixed bag…
Some parts of this book were good and some not so good.Part 3, 4 and 5 are good. Part Three talks about aerobic exercise and 4 and 5 give details on exercises you can do for specific body parts and in special situations. The instructions are clear and there are good diagrams. Unfortuately, they don’t give any advice on how many repetitions to start with and how many to build up to and which exercise to move on to when a particular excercise becomes too easy.My problem is with Part 1. It has you go through some quizzes to put yourself in a “level” which they claim will help you pick or develop a program of exercises that suits your needs. But after you figure out your level, they never mention it again. There are two sample programs, one for level 4 (in bed) and one for level 2 (moderately active) and that’s it. No program suggestions for the other levels and the excercises themselves are not given a label.A bit disappointing.But the exercises I am doing for my particular problem areas are good. I think the exercise sections make the book worth the money.

just exercise is fine
Sobel and Klein present an exercise based text which is based on a survey. This book is a 200 page long paperback whose orientation is almost completely exercise. It is aimed at the person who wants to construct an exercise program for themselves and does not have an exercise coach. The beginning gives a history of the project which starts with walking then leads into how to select exercises for your individual program. There are all types of body exercises. They mention Ken Cooper and aerobics although, the orientation is not totally aerobic. Additionally, they mention Dean Ornish’ work.I think that this book is excellent for a person who wants to work alone. It is complete and succinct.

Quality of pepper used in the book
Good information, however the pepper is made from cheap recycling paper and I am allergic to it.

I can do these!
This is a simple book with simple, effective exercises with easily understood drawings to show you how to do each one. I’ve seen books that include exercises that are beyond the abilities of most arthritis sufferers I know and me in particular. Not this book! I can do so many of these exercises. There are even exercises you can do in bed. This book helped me increase my flexibility, range of motion and strength in my bad joints. I hope it helps you, too.p.s. I’ve given this book as a gift to loved ones with arthritis and they have the same positive experience as me.

keep this one on hand for the remainder of life
I am a retired RN and have been having recurring aggravations from old orthopedic injuries and this book gave me exactly what I needed to know…without the expense of a medical office visit. You might have some of this info in other books if you have some of the better books for athletes, but it is a single most useful condensation of the best of the best and includes some new ‘moves’ as well. This book will be on my shelf until my kids inherit it! I am no longer limping around in pain, but am moving freely and doing my exercises and stretches several times a day.

First, this book is in excellent condition. It was published in 1993 and is the size of a trade paperback. The ink drawings are clear and support the text, and the stretches and exercises are doable for those who are mobility impaired and out of shape (me).The instructions focus on gently getting started and how to gradually improve, which is damn hard to find in a book. Most go from “how to start” to “keep it up! You’ll feel great” which does not consider the uncertainty, frustration, and the tendency to overdo things resulting in injuries (again me).There are chapters on tracking your progress and pros and cons of different exercises (ex. swimming and biking) but I haven’t read them yet as I’ve been busy testing the stretches and saying “Hey, I can do that”! I recommend this book to everyone who are tired of hurting, tired of being stiff, tired of having no stamina, tired of having no strength, and tired of being tired. It’s September now, and next spring – gardening!
