Product Description:
A renowned orthopedic surgeon provides the first medically proven fitness program designed to help prevent the #1 reason for doctor visits in the United States--bone and joint problems
Fitness can't be just about a healthy heart or looking good in a swimsuit. After all, low cholesterol and a flat stomach won't get you very far if back or neck problems, or a worn out knee or shoulder, keep tripping you up.
This first-of-its-kind program is designed to ensure that your frame can go the distance, with durability to match the muscle tone and conditioning we all want. And unlike other workouts, Framework starts with a unique self-test that uncovers potential problems with your frame, your workout, your nutrition, and more. It even combines diet and lifestyle advice with a balanced, customizable workout that acknowledges the fact that our bodies are all a little different and often need special attention. It teaches you to pay attention to what your body tries to tell you, and when it is being challenged by a special problem, whether it is a heel spur or stress on the job.
Best of all, Nicholas A. DiNubile, M.D., who serves as orthopedic consultant for the Philadelphia 76ers as well as the Pennsylvania Ballet, shows you how to work around--helping without hurting--any muscle or joint problems you may already have. And it all takes only 1 hour a day, 3 days a week.

Dr. Nick's book is excellent. Clear explanations of how the body works and what it needs to be safe and efficent in exercise. This is a good book for teachers and students of any kid of exercise program and those considering beginning a program. I am a yoga instructor since 1973 and have recommended it to my students. They are very pleased.
Good for Dr. Nick to address such a timely subject so thoroughly.
Rating:  - Starts with the skeleton and avoiding injury... great approach!
This is an excellent book, it is suitable for all ages, very readable and makes sense from the perspective of maintaining lifelong fitness. The general approach involves putting the frame of the body front and center. This makes sense since as people life longer, maintaining flexibility and avoiding injuries is important. This book explains how to work from the inside out in establishing a fitness program, building strength, maintaining flexibility, the role of diet, etc. For most people, this ... Read More

This book was linked as a good companion to Weisberg's "3 Minutes to a Painfree Life..." I concur, it is the perfect companion book.
This book is simply about the maintenance and repair of the human frame. Actually, more like maintenance and preventive care of the human body. One would assume this book is for aging baby boomers, on the contrary. From the sedantary, weekend sports-star, recovering/injured middle-ager, to health conscious individuals, there is something for everyone. ... Read More
