Wendy .    I purchased your book 2 years ago, mainly because of appearance, my problem area was sagging upper arms(commonly known as batwings) I have been astonished how my arms have improved (I can now wear short sleeves again) but also by the fact that I have toned and strengthened my whole body and have much more energy. *******

Trish.    I read about your book in Arthritis Today whilst in the UK. I had wanted to do some fitness work, but didn't know what to do for my age group (late fifties). I decided to give it a go and tried your methods. I have never looked back, it is part of my life now. *******

Cally.    Your book has made all the difference to my life. I did not know that bone loss could be improved, but I have faithfully followed your regime and am now stronger and fitter than ever since reaching the great age of 50. *******

Prudence.    I had tried joining gyms and classes but at 67 didn't feel part of it, everyone else was much younger and I was embarrassed, overweight and very unfit (I hadn't exercised for years). Your book was a refreshing and easy new approach and showed me exactly what I should be doing. My friends and family are amazed at the difference!*******

Betty.    I was 78 when I started your exercises. I had been active all my life, but had slowed down and was really feeling my age. 3 years on, I have regained both strength and flexibility. Everyone is amazed to hear that I am 81 years old. I am very often taken for early 60's. I am now working on my husband to try it too.*******

Maggie.    I was given your book as a gift when I was diagnosed with low bone density. I had no idea that bone started to deteriorate at around 35 or that it could be encouraged to grow again at any age and no idea how muscle strength could be so easily increased. I don't need the book anymore, I know it all by heart and it has changed my life. *******

Debbie.    I first heard of your regime on the BBC World Service about 4 years ago, before you published your book and was so impressed by what you had both done, that I search for it until it was published. I have had so much benefit from your regime and I feel years younger, my friends tell me that I look years younger too. *******

Barbara.    I wanted to improve my health and keep my strength and fitness at a decent level, but had no idea how to do it. I read your book, it was all so well described and so easy to follow, and I started straight away. I had no idea that achieving fitness could be so easy. I have no painful joints, a very stiff neck and shoulders have improved enormously and I now get no headaches. I think I am actually fitter than my grandchildren. *******

Mary-Ann.    Wonderful Ways with Weights pushed back boundaries for me. I had resigned myself to aging gracefully and expected to become increasingly inactive. I had no idea of the level of strength and fitness I could achieve so easily. I have given the book to both my daughters and am encouraging them to look after their bones and make sure they stay strong. I do not want either of them to reach the low state that I was in before I started. I have told them both -USE IT OR LOSE IT. *******

Ellen.    I suffer from osteo-arthritis of the hips and they can be painful at times. I wanted to do some exercise because I had read that exercise does help control the pain and strengthens bones. I bought your book, took it along to my medical practitioner before I did anything and sorted out the exercises I should do and with the exception of 2 exercises, he said that I should go ahead. I am so glad I did so; I have improved my painful hips, strengthened my bones and feel so much better.*******

Jayne.    My problem was that being very overweight, never having exercised in a gym I was embarrassed when I found that almost all other exercisers were young and slim and obviously knew what they were doing. I took your advice and purchased hand weights and an exercise bench and exercised at home. Having now lost weight I feel much more confident, and I know what I am doing around fitness machines, I have joined a local fitness centre and exercise three times each week and afterwards treat myself to a swim and a whirlpool. Many thanks. *******
